Just got back in from aggravating my 'maters: giving the stalks of each plant a no-nonsense YANK to say HEY! YOU'VE GOT FRUIT TO RIPEN BEFORE YOU CAN QUIT!!! LOL

TTC Even where you live, you can successfully grow tomatoes. . if you want to. In the online tomato-growing community I belong to, there are people growing them in Puerto Rico, Mexico, Texas etc. with triple digit temperatures: they use varieties bred to set fruit at high temperratures and shade cloths. There are even tomatoes that grow wild in Texas and Mexico (to name two. . .different species than the common/commercial plants grown, produce3 fruit 1/2 in in diameter, survivew and thrive with heat. .poor soil, are small plants with a PROPENSITY to ree-seed / start new plantsd near-by!).
