Fall tomatoes in Florida (post #12588)

Has anyone here planted tomatoes now to harvest in the fall? I know it is possible, but would like some advice from someone who has done it. If not I will let you all know how it comes out. We are starting some from seed, then later will buy some small plants and put out. As noted above, we live in Florida zone 8B. Pat

When I lived in San Antonio, the normal time to plant tomatoes for fall was in August. You're right, they won't do much in the middle of the summer.
