Microclimate


This is one dead tomato {I'd like to disclose that I provided everything this tomato needed, except a cooler climate and it looked great until yesterday's 109* and today's 114*}...remember that I had my doubts about my tomatoes surviving in the heat or surviving and just not being able to pollinate.  But they're not all this way.  The one's by the cinder block walls are doing respectable.  It's noticeably cooler by the wall space-a good 10 degrees or more so that even the soil feels cool to the touch after watering.  So from now on that's where the tomatoes go.  I might have tomatoes yet {pictures of happy tomatoes to come later...it was getting dark}.
