summer garden
I picked my first cuc two days ago, 8 inches and just beautiful and tasted great. Lots of tomatoes on the plants. Showing the plants to a friend and his wife says I have never seen Roma tomatoes that long in the store. I said everything grows large in my garden. My Romas are twice the size of store bought. Things are growing like mad with this heat.

RE:Summer Garden
What did you use to fetlize your tomatoes? Did you mulch around the base? How deep did you plant your plant when your set it it? In my zone we can plant until the 4th of July . So try again:) May be you could make a shade cover for a plant or two for the hot late afternoon sun. Sounds crazy but that is what they do for dahlias to mantain bloom color.

It's not the sun that's the problem. It's the heat! Tomato plants drop their bloomers at 95 degrees F. And last year it hit 105 degrees F. for almost 4 weeks. Poor tomatoes burned up! Tomatoes are sun loving and heat loving plants, but there is also too much of a good thing. I like to follow the tomato plants lead when it gets to 95 degrees F.

I mulch my plants to ease them through stressful heat waves.
While plastic mulch has proved its worth, all natural mulches also help tomatoes grow well. Surround your plants with a layer of straw, leaves, dried grass clippings or pine needles and it will keep the plants' roots cool, prevent weeds from sprouting around them and retain moisture in the soil. Because these mulches keep the soil cool, do not apply them until after the soil warms to 65 degrees F.
