It has been essentially over for me for about 2 weeks. I lost 15 large tomatoes one night 2-3 varieties. I was about to take a vacation, so I picked everything that had a chance of ripening on the counter and let the greedy critter(s) have the smallest ones. They missed 3 or 4 which are still out there, hardly growing. They are 1/3 the size they should be and will have tough, thick skins. Been trying to decide if I'm going go pull and start over for fall, or cut them all back. Too hot to do either right now with 105-108 highs and even lows just in the low 80s. Yuck!
