I normally can grow tomatoes in tasty profusion, no sweat. This year, we went from weeks of cool weather with sub-freezing dips, to about 2 weeks of 80s, and then nonstop 90s to 100s daily, and no rain at all. It’s not like my tomatoes aren’t trying, but right now all I’m producing are spider mites. I’m thinking of calling it quits for the summer, and seeding new babies for a fall crop, in a few weeks.
