[QUOTE="bigb159, post: 4238926, member: 51595"] This woman is a local to Tulsa, she sells starters, and has longstanding experience in growing tomatoes in OK: [URL]https://www.tomatomansdaughter.com/planting-tips[/URL] Oklahoma has two growing seasons for these types of vegetables: Spring and Fall. Tomatoes and peppers, etc fail to pollenate through the Summer heat, so they grow and flower but you get very little fruit. In order to get Spring tomatoes, your window is short, so you need to start your tomato and pepper plants indoors in late February, make sure you have plenty of light, room to grow and support, and harden them off through early April, planting them in soil no earlier than April 15 (last frost date). Or, you could simply buy the starters from Tomantomans Daughter or a nursery. Plan to add partial shade like a sun screen or a vertical vining plant through the Summer heat (for most of your garden), and prune any useless growth back through late Summer, and in August start fertilizing for new flower to fruit growth as things cool.
