So you may be stuck with lousy tomatoes for this year. Too bad, because we went through that a few years ago, and never did get decent priced fruit for the rest of that year. I had 6 plants on the roof of the building that year, which is over 100 ft up, and we got nothing at all. I companion plant with marigolds, so we had lots of flowers but no maters! Cheers, Doug in BC
