The only state with a shorter time between last freeze and first freeze is Alaska. The high was >80 F, but it went down to 29.9 F in the early hours this morning. Being dry, we can get huge swings between high and low.

This is why I always grow my tomatoes and peppers in pots. I can't get tomatoes (or at least any significant amount) before the first freeze. If I have them in pots, I can bring them in, produce for a couple months, then they get all leggy and produce little to no tomatoes, but when the days start lengthening, I get spring tomatoes. I start seeds and then replace the old tomatoes after a big flush.

I actually have twice had years when things went crazy and I've had tomatoes produce inside for 3 years even though they are supposed to be annuals. They will continue producing, but not as well as the first year.

Are you in Canada?
