This won’t be a great year for tomatoes in southern Michigan, (too cool and dry) but the hybrids that would do well, taste like wax.
I'd like to place an order of that 'cool and dry'. Delivered, FedEx Priority Overnight. We're at the other end of the temp spectrum (calling for 101 F. - ambient - on Saturday), but still as dry, hence the need for my irrigation system. But my tomatoes and beans are loving it as long as they get plenty to drink. My peppers aren't too happy about it; they never are, but I just put down about 50 more seeds from last year's crop, and they'll respond well once cooler weather gets here. We've picked hundreds of cherry tomatoes so far, and they're the size of ping pong balls. Beet red inside. So much flavor, they actually make you pucker. Tonight I may halve a couple dozen, brush them with olive oil, top them with some fresh basil out of our herb garden and some shredded Mozzarella, and broil them as a side dish.
This is a weird piece of real estate. I have to plant cyclically to get maximum yield. I haven't even put down the squash and zucchini yet!
