Start over, the spring/summer growing season is just practice for the real
growing season which is fall. Start new plants now and hope you can beat
the first frost.

Hi there,
Now that it's so hot my tomato plants look terrible and are full of
bugs. If I keep them, will they grow and produce again when it cools off?
Or should I just give up and pull them out? Never had this problem in
Montana!

Fall tomatoes are the bestin my opinion.

One year we had a zillion of them green on the vine at Thanksgiving and
it started to sleet mixed with freezing rain. We ran out, picked them
all, and stuck them in the garage in HEB bags. By mid-December they were
ripening pretty regular. Homegrown tomatoes for Christmas that year :-)
