Hi abbethel! Good to hear from you!
These african foxgloves were grown in East Tennessee, before I moved to Kerrville, and I haven't grown them here yet. However, I am 100% confident that these plants are at least deer resistant, and I don't know why they wouldn't grow well here. I had them in full sun in Tennessee and they did great.
I'm looking forward to seeing your German tomatoes pictures. I have a huge crop of Cherokee Purple tomatoes and I'd be pleased to share some fruit with you so you can try those out. Will have new plants in a few weeks to share also, if you're interested. E-mail me.
