Fruit set

brooksville · May 31, 2019

It’s been extremely hot and dry this spring. Despite the heat we have been setting a ton of fruit. I e read that tomatoes won’t set fruit when temps reach 90 degrees. The only thing I can figure is that the tomato patch is getting shaded during the hot part of the day, after 5. We have also been watering with drip hoses for 30 minutes during the heat and feeding weekly with TTF. I am hoping that we have one of the best years we have ever had. I hope everybody else is having a good season. Thanks Tville.
