Will these varieties set fruit again?
Summer it looks, has arrived to the Lone Star State. 90'+ until mid September. If I keep the following varieties alive, will they produce again in the fall?

I'm going to say no. Those are all determinate tomato varieties. I am guessing you've got them all in 5 gallon containers?
You'll want to start growing a second set of transplants indoors sometime in June to set outside in July/August. |

why not take some nice cuttings off your plants and try to root them.
once a cutting has new roots, it is again a nice young plant. that is what you want. young healthy vigorous roots and plant above. . |
