Hello PaulF I pray your Family Keep this "Great Picture showing your True Tomato Passion" Amen!!!!

Did you suffer Temperatures over 100's with the heat index like we did here in Virginia for a whole month? I have Tall Permanent Stalking too; but this is my year for Crop Rotation to keep my soil healthy. So I uses Tomato Cages near the wooden fences around the farm area growing through 6 foot Tomato cages. Only the Amish Dester Tomato Plants were growing out in direct sun in the metal Tomato Cages that were not Galvanized.

It was so hot here that a zipper on the back of my clothes while trying to do quick farming oneday got so hot it was burning my skin and I had to come home and put on a T-shirt. I never thought about the Metal on the Tomato Cages getting overheated. Amish Deters and Hawaiian Pineapple are my most popular Items, most important crop. I removed the Shade of the Morning Glories to soon, and my six year old didn't want to go outside in the heat because last week-end.
It happen so fast. But here is information to help us all: :https://dengarden.com/gardening/Tomato-Sunscald.
