Tomorrow we are scheduled to hit triple digits. I have something like five tomatoes total on my two plants, and that's my crop. Once the temps climb over 90 F, there's no pollination going on. Sigh.
I miss fresh tomatoes. I'll have to savor these.

Me too! I am here in eastern NC, zone 7a/b. We struggle to let our tomatoes pollinate before our summer heat hits, but we are experimenting this year. Try more shade than you think. So far, so good. We are constantly hitting 90+ degrees from April on and best 'guess' is too shade the soil and keep the plant cool. Every degree helps! Good Luck!
