The heat has got my full size toms down to saladette or golf ball size planted in the pots. Watering them daily or sometimes more in extreme 97+ degree days. It is so much easier to plant the toms in the ground. I only water them every 3 or 4 days. I have a pair of wrens checking out my toms.
I'm thinking about killing the cherry toms in hanging baskets. I got most of the ripe fruit picked today. One whole basket is fruitless with little new growth. They have outlived their usefulness. I'm getting tired of all the extra watering. My indeterminates toms planted in the ground are 6 ft plus now. I picked 20 lbs last week. My neighbors are smiling to get free tomatoes.
I'm still grinding my teeth about planting Sungold Select I started from seed. A complete waste of time and space. Live and learn.
