I do commiserate, as it was impossible to foresee all weather conditions when making this year's grow list. There are some forecasts, but usually there are surprises. This year's heat wave came as a total surprise.

Your assortment seems quite impressive. Hopefully you'll soon get to try the ones not ripened yet.

My conclusion so far here in Finland - cherry, grape and other small fruited varieties seem to do well in extreme conditions.

I am going to focus on smaller sized tomatoes next year, but it is a pity to dismiss all large beefsteaks or hearts.. I love big black and pink tomatoes and will try some each year.

So far, I haven't tasted any large ones, but the odd donut shaped Indian Stripe is indoors and half dark already.
