Have had good results with cherry tomatoes this years and that’s despite me planting mine way too late in the season and on a total whim. I keep mine in a pot outside. I live in Denmark, so it’s a bit of a different climate to yours, but I think tomatoes are pretty easy to grow in many parts of the world :D
They are still green and I don’t know if they will turn red before the temperatures decline into single digits, but considering how much of a yolo decision this was, to just sow them because I felt sorry for myself and wanted to see something grow, it’s pretty remarkable how many tomatoes it ended up producing. They are THIRSTY, though!
