New member and a question

Hi everyone!

I just LOVE tomatoes and stubbled on this site while looking for a reason why my tomatoes have stopped setting fruit. I'm a real amatuer in the gardening field. I have one cherry tomato plant that has about 12 fruit (I've eaten maybe 10 so far) and another normal size plant. Sorry I can't remember their names. Anyway the cherry has stopped producing fruit and the other is blooming but has not produced any fruit at all.

Is this because it's so hot here -- over 100 for the past 1-1/2 weeks? They are on a drip system, getting water twice a day. They are both in pots, although considerably smaller than 5 gallon. After it cools down, will they produce fruit?

Our yard is brand new, just landscaped this spring/summer. I have another question regarding roses. Where can I get information as to why one is drying. Seems like half of the plant has dried up.

Thanks for your help. I'm looking forward to many tomatoes just for me ... my DF hates 'em!
