Mine are doing great. I have a lot more fruit set this year. I haven't had to water them a single time so far. Plenty of rain, which is a God send because we had back to back drought years for past 2 years. lol Just thought I would share.

  but the rest are so huge, it'll make up for it. Personally, I can't stand tomatoes, but the wifey likes them.
  
  You must live near me, since we're also coming off two years of horrendous drought.

    I'm waiting for the Hornworms to return this year. Should be in a week or 2. I had a real battle with them last year for which I won, but, I had to check on them twice a day for about a week. I killed a couple dozen of them. Amazing how much damage they can do in a day.

  ... and it's still raining here.
  About 40mm today.
  This is usually the dry season.
  Still after years of drought the dams are about to overflow.

    Hell, I figured you could grow tomatoes year round there? What is your Winter average high? 80 degrees? 120 in the Summer?

      This is midwinter here.
      You can tell it is... if you look carefully, someone in the background is wearing a jumper... ;-)

    It got up to 90 here and is supposed to remain there for the next week or so. Mix that with high humidity and yuck. I tend to the lawn & garden only in the morning and early evening now.
