I downloaded a report from a weather station close to where the LA1777 tomato was collected. Then I graphed the high and low temperatures. Of note is that the air temperature stayed above freezing the entire year. Night-time low temperatures in the 40s are common the entire year. Daytime high temperatures were typically in the 70s year round. This tomato aught to grow really well in conditions that are typically found in my garden during early spring.
Then I added an estimate of radiant cooling to the chart for nights without cloud cover. I used 8 F since that's what I experience in my garden. Of note is that the longest gap between radiant freezes in the growing season is only about 60 days.
