In contrast we've had a good tomato season here in central Va, been very lucky with even rainfall/soil moisture and close to normal temps. I usually plant 30 plants but cut back to 14 this year which have produced nearly the same amount of tomatoes as 30 in the past. Avoiding the droughts and flooding put us in a sweet spot.

Not very good this year. Even my Sweet 100's, which never fail me are, are barely poking along -- some fruit but not much, and Sungold are hardly doing anything. I have Early Girl, Big Beef, Mortgage Lifter, and some other slice I can't remember off the top of my head and of all those I've had one (!) E.G. ripen. The rest have unripe fruits, but not many. I attribute the cr*ppy tomato growth this year to be due to the unusually cool nights through pretty much all of June -- tomatoes like warm nights, and we just haven't had many of them this year.

My tomato yields are crummy this year also. Sweet 100’s have produced a bit (hard to tell how much, husband and kids eat them in the garden), but all others have mostly green fruit. I’ve only picked three ripe tomatoes so far this summer, very disappointing!

Wow. I truly don't want to rub it in, but I'm in Mid-Michigan, and having my best tomato year ever, though I'm sharing with some voracious bugs. All of my plants are loaded with fruit, except my single Bradywine. I've had ripe Cherokee Purple, Ananas Noire, Happy Jack, Peron's Sprayless, Paul Robeson, SunGold, Black Cherry, and Anna Russian. I wish I could share, because I'm going to be overwhelmed in another week or two. I hope all of your plants kick in for a decent late season flush.

I've had a great year until now. The summer is pretty hot here in California's Central Valley and tomatoes sort of go dormant about now. I need to cut them back so they will add new growth, and I will have tomatoes all the way to Christmas.

I'm in SE NH and I had to toss a couple dozen green tomatoes that had blossom end rot early in the season. Yields are way down but I am getting some tomatoes. Out of 20 plants I have only harvested 15 tomatoes so far. There are 4 or 5 plants that are looking pretty sad. The 2 BrandyFred Dwarf plants are beautiful but have not produced any blossoms or fruit. :-(

So far I have harvested:

3 Gritmire

6 Purple Bumblebee

2 Rose de Berne

4 Nyagous

I'm doing OK, but for sure not a great year. The six weeks without rain slowed them down, that's for sure- even though I was watering regularly. Now that we have been getting rain in, I've got a LOT of green tomatoes, and a lot of growth of vines. Right now I'm usually starting to hit half-bushel harvest, but just getting past the 5 pound mark. Probably will start seeing half-bushel closer to the end of the month.

It's OK, I'm starting to fill freezer bags. I like to process in cooler weather, so a slow build of tomatoes right now is not biggie. Still plenty for fresh eating :)

Here is Nevada, we had a very hot spell. Most of the yellow blossoms dried up. I finally shaded the tomatoes, something i have never had to do before. Now I am starting to get yellow blossoms again, and a few tomatoes too. No rain in a long time.
