Fall Garden

[big rockpile]

Am I wrong on this my Tomatoes, Peppers and Okra should produce up until Frost?

Then plant a few others. I have a Planting Chart for our Zone. Because of so called Climate Change I can almost Garden year round.

I know in Fall water regular.

If your tomatoes are INDETERMINATE varieties and nighttime low temperatures are correct they will produce until first frost. They will restart production in the late summer/fall when temps are lower. This does not apply to cherry varieties as they ignore nighttime low temps. Determinate tomatoes will not. Peppers will produce until first frost unless it gets too hot during the day (95F+) and then they will stop producing but will start producing again when the temps cool. Okra likes it hot and will have continious production until first frost.

Beefsteak tomatoes are a TYPE of tomato, not a variety. Most, but not all are indeterminate. The Romaine is also a TYPE of tomato, also called a Roma tomato. There are many Roma varieties. These are nearly all determinate. Bell types of peppers do not produce as well in hot weather but will still produce small peppers until the temps drop in late summer and fall. Hot peppers such as jalapeno and cayenne like hot weather and will keep producing till frost.
