can you plant the beefmaster variety of tomatos in late july?.........?

Answer 1

Beefmaster is a variety that requires about 80 days from seed to fruit; if you have plants that are fairly mature, and a *relatively* cool place to plant them, then you might be able to get fruit before the fall. If you're going from seed, then I'd say wait for next year, or get a faster-maturing variety like Early Girl, Northern Exposure, or a similar short-season variety.

Answer 2

Nope, too hot. Unless you are in a part of the country where it's cooler. OR, you could plant them in 5 gallon buckets and put grow lights over them. Maybe that will work. Keep them out of the hot sun though. They need lots of time to grow and develop.
