I'm waiting to see if most of my plants start producing new growth from the lower part of the plants as they do most years. If they do, I will trim the plants back to the new growth and I will be set for a fall garden. Since this year has been so crazy, they may all simply die when the real heat arrives which means I will remove all of them and replant new fall plants. I may even rework my beds between removing the old plants and planting the new plants. For some reason, something has seemed different about my beds this year in addition to the crazy weather. I haven't been able to identify the difference which has slowed the growth of other plants like squash and cucumbers, but allowed the tomato plants to flourish. I have to admit, I've had a good tomato harvest; but some plants produced very well while others haven't produced a single tomato. A few varieties like Stump Of The World have no tomatoes and are usually very good producers of large tomatoes. 2013 will be recorded in my record book as strange.
