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.

Perhaps you will get “cool” spells that make the tomatoes happy. The tomato plants will keep trying, it is in their best interest to fruit.
Usually there is enough breeze to move tomato blossoms to pollinate....Unless it is a green house tomato operation.
