I suppose that you can try it, since it really is all about the location, microclimate where they are put, how much watering they get, and a number of other factors that will be unique to your area. So I always say it doesn't hurt to try anything. I admit I only tried this one year, but I didn't get many tomatoes from the plants and my plants always looked stressed.
