It must be a terrible responsibility to be an expert on every subject.

They should have been planted two months ago. It's way too late, unless
you got
cherry tomatoes or 'Heatwave' or 'Merced' or any number of heat tolerant
tomatoes. Even those which are tolerant of high nighttime temperatures
will not
set fruit once the night temps are above 70. You next best shot at
tomatoes
will be in late July for the fall garden.
