TEFKaB: I have one Shishito that I bought to plant. Have never tried it so this year will be the first! Good thing its easy to just wash and freeze all those bell peppers!
How many tomatoes do you have? I have 13. I took off the first branches up to 10-12” (straw mulch underneath) and left the flowers alone on the premise that I need to get as many growing before it gets so hot and humid that its difficult for the flowers to pollinate. (Thats a problem here every year.)
Enjoy your berries! One of the best things about summer!
I have about 75 tomato plants.
I understand the high heat pollination issue from 2 years ago when I had peper plants suspended in the roof of my greenhouse.
The tips go over 100 even when the vents were popped open and it sterilizes the pollen.
