Since you are doing this what thread pitch is it?

Looks like maybe 3 inches per foot.

Would it be UN coarse, fine in 60 degrees or maybe the British Whitworth 55 degree pattern.

Looks like national fine thread or NPT to me.

Cushman, I think you hit 100 degrees the other day. How did your maters react to that?

A few blossoms were dropped shortly after by the two Moskvichs( Only toms that are not thriving of the other 4) and a couple of the Siberians dropped 1 or 2 blossoms but not bad at all. I kept them shaded and misted 3-4 times @day during the heatwave. Hope those temps stay away until after May 30. Now it's like I live in Monterrey California, with fog each morning and 100% humidity. Land of extremes.

Yes, it is crazy. We had four months with no rain and now we have had four days of rain in the evening. Stuff either dies from not enough water or to much water.

This is why I affectionately(?) call this area of Texas Tomato Hell, on the edge of the Bowie, TX tree line and line of humidity on the east and the plains on the west, the south is the land of salt cedars and others, growing on and in between great slabs of limestone, Wichita Falls is TOMATO HELL.
Oh yea, to the north are those Okies. Very cold to the north.
