I'll try this solution and see if it works for me. I have a spot at the bottom of the garden that gets morning sun then shade the rest of the day and it is a lousy spot for tomatoes but has been good for spring cabbage.
Thanks for the replies everyone. It seems from everything I've read that high temps are the problem. I will also try growing it as a fall crop and see if the results are better.
