They got a little stunted from some mid June frost and some heatwaves, but mid July they finally started to get moving. I honestly thought they were goners, but they just needed the right weather.

    Speaking of tomatoes, a trick I’ve found to keep them running through the hottest parts of summer is to get a 70% or 80% sunshade and cover them. At least in zone 6, it’s enough to lower the temp and get them to keep on fruiting.

    Edit: by 70-80%, it means that 30-20% of shade gets blocked respectively…kind of like car window tint if you’re familiar with that.
