I’m in Zone 8 or 8b. Our nighttime temps won’t be anywhere near 50 for several months.

OK. Overly hot and dry will cause blossom drop as well, so I’m going to go with that if you’re in 8 or 8b - which I am totally unfamiliar with as far a growing veggies.

I’m wondering if you’ve planted them too soon for that HOT of a Zone, and they should be more of a wintertime veggie for you?

I remember a friend who moved to AZ and had always been a WI Gardener in the past. He’d call me every FEBRUARY to tell me he was eating fresh vine-ripened tomatoes, just to annoy me, while I was up to my butt in SNOW! ;)

Can anyone else help?
