Ok,

I just picked my first sweet 100's April 30th. Pretty good for me, but
probably someone else had them earlier. This very warm spring sure did help
this year.

Have Fun

Yes, I also got a few, but as our night time temps are already reaching
over 70, and most varieties will not set further fruit. Most require
60-70 degs night time drop in temp.

So in essence, our tomato season for most varieties are over this year
already. Anyone who planted a variety like Brandywine can just forget
about it until fall.

Once the night temps reach 80 degs. nothing sets fruit except an
occasional Heatwave or Merced. It appears we will have a 9 month summer
of 80+ since February. Pretty freaky weather, doncha think?

I talked with a civil engineer working on Katrina issues and he says the
oceans are so hot, we should be in for a nightmare of a hurricane season.
