Southeastern growers - is the heat and humidity halting ripeness?

WilburMartin · July 16, 2016

My tomato productivity has ground to a halt - I have successfully eaten 5 from a bush hybrid, and 10 from a Creole, but nothing else seems to be growing anything. My Patio bush has one cherry sized green, and my Creole has about 10 4-6oz. tomatoes, but it seems like they have been green for about a month - nothing is blushing. My cucumber has yielded one (out of two tremendous vining plants), and my eggplant are producing like crazy.

Is my MS heat and humidity stopping the fruits from turning? I have lots of buds, and a ton of flowers - but no fruit! Is this just something I am going to have to endure?
