I suspect that you're right about root depths. My paternal grandmother used to grow large gardens out on the ranch in the early 20th century and had no way to supplement water. I've thought that it must have been that she was able to plant varieties that put down deep roots during the spring rain periods and used those to survive the rest of the largely rainless summer.

Yes I am still picking tomatoes daily. Big unruly indeterminates though. None others made it through the heat this year. Oh and it's me all right. I have been lurking a bit, but mostly not posting much due to other reasons. I have missed this place though.
