i'll be starting a few heat resistant varieties (phoenix or heat wave) maybe this week. i'm a little late on that but we've had a "little rain"

i'll get vegetative growth throughout the summer on those little tomatoes, and if the hornworms don't take then they may start setting again in the fall.

if you hanen't noticed, i love my tomatoes. also peppers and eggplants.
