Are there any types if tomatoes that I can still plant this season in central NJ?

I am about 20 miles from the shore in zone of 7b.

Thanks

As several of us pointed out on your same post of this question on the Vegetable Gardening forum you are misunderstanding your planting dates. Why do you think your planting season is over? It really has just begun for some crops. You haven't even reached your last frost date yet.

While it is a little late to start growing tomatoes from seed indoors it is still possible and it won't be time to begin planting transplants, assuming you plan to buy your plants, outside for another couple of weeks at least.

I wintersow my tomatoes and they aren't even up yet. The advantage to ws is that once they're up they'll need no hardening off and will go in the ground while still relatively small. Once the end of may rolls around, they'll be doing just fine.

You've got a bit of time before you can even plant out where you are, so I'm not sure why you're wondering if it's too late.

Don't worry about being too late. I started my seeds mid-March this year even though it's considered a little late for some people. But last year when it was my first year growing veggies, I got a little too excited with my spring veggie success mid-April that I decided to start tomatoes and peppers and I started them last week of April/first week of May, I got loads of chile verde peppers and lots of morning sun cherry tomatoes (which took forever to mature on vine) but still... it was possible. So don't worry!

You have a longer growing season than we do here in 5a but I sure don't think it is late at all to start tomatoes from seed. They grow so fast that in 4-5 weeks you will have plants large enough to transplant.
