Default Tomato question -- second crop..

Andy writes:

Well, my fridge is full of tomatoes and my fascination with fresh
salads is
starting to wane somewhat...

However, I have noticed that a SECOND crop is coming in on the
vines...
All at once, and very prolific...

The plants are Celebrity, from Home Depot, and this is north Texas
with
temps in the 90s every day and almost no rain, tho I have been
watering
the garden every other day or so with a sprinkler...

So, learned gurus, is this normal ? Am I going to get tomatoes
off these
vines until the snow falls, or is a second crop the most I can hope
for ?

Also, any advice on how to guarantee some fall tomatoes would be
nice....

I will be very tired of tomatoes for 2006, but I'd like to understand
this
second and third crop thing a little better...

Thanks,

Andy in Eureka, Texas


PS... My cantalope are turning yellow.... I will very tired of eating
cantalop
in 2-3 weeks, but for now it is pure heaven.....
