Best tomato conditions- where to live?

sliphorn · February 28, 2006

Tomstrees, I've always thought Zones 6 and 7 would be ideal for alot of things. Directly across Lake Michigan from Chicago, on the Michigan side, it's Zone 6A for a very narrow east-west band, perhaps 10 to 20 miles wide, but for several hundred miles south to north along the lake shore. That area is the famous fruit growing region of Michigan which produces some of the finest apples, peaches, and berries I've ever had. And I'd think it'd be great for tomatoes too.
