Stock up on tomatoes! The weather here in the NE has been cool and rainy. All my tomato plants are stunted and there are few blossoms. There's also some kind of tomato blight this year too.

I'm afraid,there will no sauce canned in my pantry this year.

If the corn crop holds, there will be plenty of sauce in my pantry this winter.

Here in the Chicago suburbs, my produce stand should have luscious ripe tomatoes from the field by now. A phone call to them the other day elicited the comment that they are coming in only "sporadically". Sounds ominous.

Will call again Monday morning.

Well, I grew tired of trying to grow big ones so I planted two Grape Tomato plants.

Man, I can't pick them things fast enough. I've got little red tomatoes everywhere. My neighbors shut their eyes and run when I try and offer them a bowl.

I live in north central WV (mountains), my tomatoes are about the only that looks good in my garden. We have a short season here. I hope to have some corn before the first frost. The tallest is about waist high. In my recent travels, I have only seen one field where the corn looked as it should for this time of year, near Oakland, MD

Meanwhile in East Tennessee, the weather is very cool and lots of rain. The drought and poor tomato crop is over. The Tomatoes are now coming in faster than we can eat them.

Having learned to plant more than necessary to assure tomatoes during the drought of August, there are many more than required.

The blight tried, but judicious spraying and covering the ground with newspaper ended the menace.

it seems that the prolonged cool might be retarding the onset of new fruit so the abundance might not be for long
