I found out tomatoes don't like 110 plus degree weather. The entire south side of this plant failed under the weight of this tomato. If I have any chance for my 4lb goal for the year this is it. I tied the plant back up and re wrapped the fruit in cloth. 104 and 105 forecast for Thursday and Friday. I was thinking about uprooting all of my plants but PM me if you guys go for a second tomato on experienced plants. Pollination may be difficult due to the heat but i am in the garden early while it is still below 75. These are all grown in my local community garden. It is kind of a trip since whenever I harvest one of these the coordinator brings her friends to witness the event. If she only knew what large tomatoes looked like.
