Yuck. I just looked on one site that said tomato will not fruit if the temperature is above eighty-five degrees.

Thanks.

It has been in the 90’s here. We are having a bad year for tomatos. It was cold for a month longer this year, so we were late planting. 90+ temps come early here also. Every year it is a gamble to plant early enough to get tomatos before the temps get too high. Since this year has been a bust, I am glad I didn’t plant a lot of stuff this time.

On the other hand, I am having a banner year with peppers. I have many very large banana peppers and jalapenos, cayenne, chiltepins, and my ghost peppers are fruiting a bit early, it seems, this year.
