Not unless you live someplace that stays pretty warm, msbelle. Tomato flowers need a night temp range from 55 - 77F to be successfully pollinated. Too hot and they won't fruit. Too cold and they won't fruit. (I have personal experience with the cold end and a published gardener I know of has experience with the hot end.) I wouldn't be planting tomatoes from seed now unless I lived in a very mild winter area. (Actually, even here in LA I bought 4" tomato starts a week or two ago because I didn't trust waiting for seeds.)
But, having said all that, if the seeds are cheap and you feel like experimenting, go for it.
A picture from our day with Hubby's daughter and grandkids. I love the accidental composition.

That's a great one!
While trying to look up what kind of praying mantis it was I saw in the yard a couple days ago, I saw this neat bit on a hermaphroditic butterfly: [link]
The garden calendar I just found online for this area of Texas says to plant your Fall garden next week, so I think I am good. I am going to buy potting soil tomorrow and start the seeds inside the mud room in little pots. go go garden!
I didn't know you'd moved to TX. TX offers a pretty good chance of being able to get in a harvest or two before a frost kills them.
Thanks, Vortex! I wish I could find playlists from the new wave station in philly I listened to all the time back then.
I love my SIL, she's much a bigger person emotionally than her birthfamily. And she's hilarious.
Hey, CV, how's your belly wound? All healed proper, yes?
Well, if by proper you mean I still have a second belly button, then yes. No open wounds at least! But my days of belly baring are over. Luckily, they were long over anyway. My belly tattoo is frightening to behold!
Thanks for all the reassurance that my daughter is indeed adorable. I obviously know that, but I never tire of hearing it. Whenever she does something super cool, I am as proud as if I had made her. Oh, wait...
Someone come visit me, I'm lonely today!

I suppose I could hop on the Eurostar... you're in Belgium, right? Day trip!
I could not get the foot nomming baby to play! I am sad!
Thank you for the tomato advice- I just hope these tomatos ripen before theatre starts or I will end up letting them rot.
Last night was actually pretty cool here. My cat spent a lot of time laying on my chest nd kneading while I was "sleeping". And I was having dreams about getting accidentally fired from the grocery store where I worked as a teenager, while somehow getting stuck there investigating while trying to make it to the theatre on time. And my mother worked there.
