The plants seem to look good. 90F temps will not completely stop fruiting, unless the nights are really warm too. Those flower trusses seem a bit underdeveloped though. Hard to say the exact causes. I would add a bit of fertilizer in a 2-1-3 ratio or thereabouts. And maybe cut some lower leaves and those suckers growing at the base.

Poor tomatoes here also in NOVA. Must be the weather. Slow production, some disease from all the early rain. Temps keep going up and down this year. Now it's been hot and my cherries have very few fruit set.

June was really a hot month. I'm in FL at the Georgia border, and had I not planted out mid February I would have done poorly. Mr. Stripey seems to have handled the heat a little better than CP, but gone yellow with faded rose bottoms and maturity was accelerated smaller. CPs, same maturing now, were very productive until sometime in May when they went intermittent and poor. There are a very few developing tomatoes but the season is essentially over. The cherries are ok still ... but flowering ha significantly decreased. It was about 98F yesterday or the day before, and night was around 78F now. Things got bad as soon as nights temp increased to about 72F and days were in the low 90s. At 74F nights it basically stopped. Humidity is high here.

My tomatoes, here in Reno, Nevada (zone 7) are not doing the best either. It isn`t just me, it`s about everybody around here. The weather went from cold to very hot practically overnight, around 100 degrees). The tomatoes are short, spindly and don`t have very many blossoms. I do have some green tomatoes though. No one around here has been able to grow any kind of pepper either. I think it`s mainly the hot weather slowing them down, and hope it cools off and they pick up production.

Here in the Seattle area mine (8 plants) are 6' tall with literally thousands of blossoms but only about 1 dozen set. We have had a day or two of 85-90 then several days of 60s, back and forth, and they are in a greenhouse that got up to 110F when it was 90 outside. I suspect it's the oddly inconsistent high temperatures slowing the development of fruit. I had the same trouble with the peas, but they just started to produce, and the cucumbers are now loaded.

I just made an appointment with our local county ext agent for Monday. Early blight here in E. Tn. has been vigorous this year. Some of my determinates have been hit so hard every leaf is severely affected and the first fruits are just now reaching blush. Many of the fruit may just become chow chow.

I'm having the ext. agent come over though to inspect 2 plants that are experiencing a different problem. I want to get a professional diagnoses to see what is hitting both the stems and leaves. He mentioned that many of the commercial farms (we are in a popular tomato growing region) have already been reporting late blight. :-(

The large number of big farms all around me is partially to blame for the high incidence of tomato diseases in this area. So many tomatoes, so many spores. :-((

We've had 4 days of temps under 90 degrees finally, and I saw the tiniest little tomato forming on the CP! Yes! Now it is 90 again and I think the upcoming week is going to be even hotter, but at least *something* has finally happened.

Where in Northern VA are you? I have loaded cherries, a handful of good sized fruit on the dwarfs and some older set on my indeterminates. All have recently set many tiny fruit as well.

Not the best year but not fruitless either. :-)
