Only heirloom indeterminates. About 8 varieties. The critters got all the fruit on the vines and they all have stopped flowering due to the heat. WE were a month late planting due to late season globull warming and an ice storm here.

Not a good year for us. Not one mater to the table. :(

I've had good luck this year with that rotten egg stuff you spray around the perimeter. Or maybe it's just luck....

My San Marzano tomatoes are doing well each plant has many, many small developing green maters and plenty of flowers my other tomatoes are flowering nicely. We have had only a couple of days in the 90’s so far. I am hoping the shade cloth I have purchased will help keep the heat down a few degrees and let my late started garden develop this summer. I need my Homegrown Tomatoes!

My ‘maters are coming in. I have clusters of Black Krim that are just starting to ripen. We harvested several as they were beginning to turn color today. Maybe you need shadecloth over your garden to temper that mid-day sun.
