Fruit Set and Blossoms
The blossoms are coming on all of the tomato plants. The plants have only managed to set a few fruit though. It doesen’t look like the weather will be getting better to help this. The forecast calls for highs in the low 90’s and low’s around 70. This is on the upper limits of tomato’s being able to pollinate. Only time will tell. I do feel lucky that I am getting sun though. This Omega high pressure system is keeping all the rain and the front to the west. My lawn is brown, but the tomatoes are doing great.

Wow! what lovely photos. I will be visiting your blog again for sure. I am always looking for ways of eeking out the best use of the space I have. Square foot gardening really interests me.
Wonderful photos and great info about your tomatoes. I would imagine that there are some people whose entire garden consists of tomatoes. Maybe you know the answer to this: how much acid is in orange tomatoes compared to red tomatoes? For people with heart burn and peptic ulcers, this information is important.
I found your blog via Google while searching for best tomato plants and your post regarding Set and Blossoms looks very interesting to me. I could not believe the amount of quality material on this site. The site is extremely eyecatching and pulls the reader straight it, the articles are great quality and are very professionally written. I have seen too many of these sites where it looks like they pay an 8 year old to do the writing - Not this one. Your site is easily the best that I have seen in a long while.
