grow a tomato
In fact, I've grown a fair amount of tomatoes 2 years ago

I’ve been very successful at growing them in Georgia and California, but getting them to fruit here in the High Desert of Nevada has been a challenge. The combination of high day time temps (100F +) and low night time temps (65F) and a day/night temp swing of 25-30*F makes it tough to get them to set fruit. They grow like crazy and flower like crazy, but seem to set fruit either before or after June/July, but not during. The ones that set after the brunt of summer heat are in danger of not ripening before the first frost. It’s a challenge, but we did get to eat a bunch of Yellow Pear cherry tomatoes in 2007. 2007 was only my second year gardening in the desert, so hopefully I have learned some things and will do better for 2008.
