and by seasonable, you mean hot. I can’t complain though, last few years it hit 90s in May.

I did the Florida weave on my tomato plants yesterday. Not super impressed but it is pretty quick and keeps them out of the paths. They can still grow/lean into each other in the row to some degree. I don’t think they’ll be able to lean over and bend the stalk though and that’s the important thing.

Ah, pumping issues. Waterpump for my truck is supposed to be here today but shipping to rural MO has become less reliable and takes longer than it used to. Supposed to be Out for Delivery. I’m still not taking apart the truck until I have it in my hands, undamaged.

Yes, hot as a popcorn fart is what I’m expecting, but if it stays dry for a few days I’m ok with that. lol

Florida weave is great for determinate tomatoes. It will work for indeterminate varieties as well if you don’t mind doing a lot of pruning/training. If you don’t like pruning it’s still better than leaving the plants flopped out on the ground.

Good luck with the water pump swap. Those jobs are never fun.
