Frustrated in CT!

I don't know that I've ever had this many tomatoes set this early. The cherries and early maturing ones are loaded with tomatoes, and the Marzano Fire are as well. The bigger heart and beefsteak types are loaded with blossoms, but not a lot of fruit yet. I did spot my first Giant Belgium today, so that's a plus.

Hot weather here made a lot of the early blossoms on the bigger type plants drop. So this last heat wave last week I watered daily, trying to get/keep the root zones cooler and I think it has helped.
