Unfortunately, the basil will eventually bolt, and the summer will nuke the tomatoes. But there will be another opportunity in the fall.

I do love it fresh.

Last year I found that by using shade cloth both the tomatoes and basil continued strong and producing well. I lost most of my tomato plants but experimented on six plants with shade cloth and those six plants continued to produce until the first frost. This year I ordered and received a 20 by 32 foot shade cloth and am in the process of covering that much of my garden. I’m near Aiken, SC
