Just planted some Oregon spring tomatoes. I wonder if I will get any.

(Central NYS, zone 5+) I've done this with other things, not tomatoes.
(Tomatoes are just a race against time here.) I can't say I understand
our results completely, but it seems like there's a 'sweet spot', sort
of late June to mid-July. Things planted later, even at the end of
July, even well within their time-to-harvest, just don't seem to thrive.
I suspect it has to do with the amount and angle of the sun. It may be
a local thing - August and September can be kind of cloudy here.
