Subject: RE: It's too damn hot! Folk n Blues heatwave
Thanks for the jokes, esp the one about the dog and the squirrel.

This is not a joke. It is so hot that my tomatoes are not growing fruit. Tomatoes 'care' about the temperatures in the middle of the night. If it's too hot or too cool, the blossoms drop off without setting fruit.

I've been out there spraying stuff called Blossom Set on the flowers, hoping to avoid that.

I haven't had a home-grown tomato yet! This is unjust.
