From Pat:
Very cute and thanks for sending but I hope next year brings you a better crop with less annoyance. If this kind of weather becomes chronic I suggest next year surrounding each tomato cage with clear plastic and leaving the top open. Just bang the cages with a hammer at noon daily to pollinate the flowers due to the fact they won’t have any wind. Tomatoes love growing in greenhouses as long as their flowers get vibrated enough to deposit the pollen from the anthers onto the sticky stigma. I grew my tomatoes in a raised bed this year protected from wind by a thick hedge and in a place where they got full sun and much reflected heat from a surrounding path of blue-gray beach pebbles. ‘Carbon’ was the most productive variety for me this year with very attractive fruit but not wildly tasty.
