In z 10, I would think that you're season is over. Mine is over in z 9 for tomatoes. We've had an unusually hot spring (after an unusually cold winter).

RR, my season is gone. last few plums on one vine. neighbor who I gave a SWB with sweet 100's still doing good inside her screened pool area. I'm NW of stuart in 9b, where are you located.

Thanks for the responses. I'm in Hollywood, FL. Is that what happens when season is over? Should I pull the plants up or let them be until fall?

Don't know much about veggie gardening but I have a bit of a green thumb when it comes to tropical plants. I'd like to do much more with food plants.

Hi Randy. I'm in Pembroke Pines.I pulled out my tomatoes months ago. They really don't like the heat and humidity of zone 10. The rain usually makes them rot.
HOWEVER!!!
August is just around the corner and at the end of that month you can start seeds. September is better if you can wait and if it stays this hot.October is good for buying seedlings.
I have extra Chaya if you're interested in growing summer greens.

Read this while your waiting to plant your vegetables.
I have to admit I have terrible luck with veggies but bluesky is closer to you and has no problem with hers. Hopefully she will chime in.

Yeah, looks like blight. All my tomatoes here in zone 9 that were in full sun have had it. I did some experimenting with growning some tomatoes in shade and they are still going pretty good. Where I placed them, they get 3 hours of morning sun and 2 or 3 of late sun, but no sun in the heat of the day. Cherry type seem to do better as well. I have read about a Everglades wild tomato that is like indestructable but haven't found any seeds as of yet.

I would like to find an indestructable tomato... if it tastes good. Keep us posted, please.

While I'm sure not indestructible I have been very happy with the Matts Wild Cherry tomato. While all the rest of the tomato plants have bit the dust the two Matt's are still growing strong and producing. Two plants give a pint a day combined....this picture was taken 7/29/10 and the plant is just as healthy as can be. The fruit is small but are very good tasting.

Bamboo Rabbit, where do you get seeds for the Matt's Wild Cherry ? is is the same as the Wild Everglades ? they sure look alike.... thanx, sally

Bamboo - Nice looking tomato plant!

Reallyrandy - Here is my version of the indestructible tomato a currant Hawaiian, all the currant varieties do well in the heat, I had this last summer and I also grew it in Arizona in over a 100 degree heat. Too bad like Tom said, you can not make a meal out of them.-(

Saldut,

I bought the Matts though honestly do not remember from where. I don't know if the Matts is the same as the Everglades or not.....to me they look the same and my bet is they are. Everglades is probably just someone changing the name of the plant, making up a cute story in an effort to make a buck. There is nothing wrong with making a buck, it is the American way. The Matts is not a hybrid and if you would like some seeds I would be happy to send you some, free of course. Just drop me a line at Bamboo_rabbit at hotmail.com

I don't usually post but had to tell you all how much I admire your plants. OMG! I can't believe how nice those tomato plants are!! My last two tomato plants are barely hanging on, finally transplanted a grape tomato out of a container into a morning sun/afternoon shade area in my garden and the husky cherry is under my oak tree. I have one lone tomato on it and am determined to see it through to ripeness.
Bamboo Rabbit - I would really be interested in getting some Matts Wild Cherry tomato seed from you if you have any to spare. BTW I'm waiting for a shipment from Jung's of Yummy Peppers. I've always gotten aphids on my peppers, whenever I've put them in the garden, so I'm interested to see if these will deter them.
Sylvie

Dunedingal,

Sure, just drop me a email with your address.

I like the Yummy peppers.....the heat does not faze them. I just tried two this season but next winter plan to start 10.
