Q - My Big Boy tomatoes have wonderful foliage and blossoms but they don't seem to set fruit. What do I need to do to get some tomatoes to pick?

Mrs. Burns

A- There's not much you can do to get fruit when temperatures are high above 90 during the day and almost 80 at night, said Bill Covard, a expert in edible gardening.

"Tomatoes don't set fruit when it's that hot," he said.

Our recent cool snap may promote fruit setting. If not, be patient and keep plants healthy until the weather cools in the fall. You still have time to get plenty of tomatoes, Colvard said.
