Ella, I am noticing the same phenomenon here. It has been exceptional hot with only one rain of any consequence in the last month and a half. Most of the plants have had irrigation, so it must be the temperatures.

O boy, it is getting hard to wait for the first ripe tomato. I am looking at them every day, sometimes twice a day. They are not growing much in a few hours. Looks like they are not growing at all. Indian Stripe could be the first one.

I know that feeling of having to wait! My Celebrity tomatoes are growing at snail pace.

How do you like the taste of it? I never grew hybrid tomatoes.

Haven't tasted these yet. I can't wait! I have to say, this was really resistant to the hot weather and rainy days we were having early May, my other tomato plants didn't survive. It also had early blight on all of them and this was very resistant to it, just had to remove a few leaves here and there but nothing severe. Another thing was the aphid infestation, but now they're under control and I just use my fingers to remove them as I see them.
So, I'm really happy with this type of tomato, I'm definitely going to plant this again next year. |

The flowers are a jamboree of color and beauty. The squirrel's future, not so bright.

I am just amazed by the size of the plant producing that pepper.
