You can probably still get away with tomatoes, particularly cherry tomatoes. I had great success last year with some seeds planted from a punnet of mixed cherry tomatoes from the supermarket, and they went in a bit late.
It’s only a touch late. The main problem with planting now is that the plant needs time to establish and ripen fruit before the cold weather, which is one reason cherry tomatoes are a better option for late planting. If you have a spot that is warm and sheltered enough they can survive over winter too, they are only an annual plant here because they are killed off by the cold. Tomatoes don’t really like full summer sun at any age, it won’t be more of a problem because they are planted now. Cherry tomato plants also seem to be more resistant to sun too.

Maybe. 🤔 I’d be upset if they were still vulnerable in the heat and the hot sun killed them though. Is it very late for tomato seeds?

Thanks, I’ll see if I have energy
