I always like the Brandywyne, this year I tried a yellow version. However, my issue this year with my tomatoes was the blooms not setting the fruit. Plants looked, and still look good, but with 12 plants, I'll be lucky to get 12-18 tomatoes this season (not counting the 3 or 4 taken by chipmunks or catbirds). If anyone has thoughts on that, I'd love to hear.
Is anyone doing anything to manipulate seeds or produce hybrids that can thrive in higher temperatures? Do you know anything about what plant scientists are doing?

I grow 40 tomato plants. This year my favorite was the Japanese black truffle. It will change your mindset regarding “black” tomatoes!
