Default NW July 1st NO Fruit Club?

Living in the Pacific Northwest and not having a green house often means that we have fruit set MUCH later than onthers around the country.

I planted my 30 or so tomato plants in ground at my ccommunity garden in mid June, latest ever due to torrential rains and cool weather. Most have flowers but as of two days ago, I have ZERO fruit set! Plants are healthy but none are more than 2 feet tall.

I find it so interesting to see how geographic regions differ so greatly! I see that many places in the country have already harvested their crops and some are considering pulling their plants before the real heat arrives.

I know that many of you in the high heat area are experiencing blossom drop and won't get great fruit.

I tend to be an optimist and although I don't have any fruit now, I still believe that I will have a good harvest, albeit later than usual.

How is everyone fairing here in the NW? I am afriad I probably will not be much of a contender for our "Biggie Challenge" this year! Hopefully you are doing better than I am at this point!
