Re: tomatoes

This is really out of the scope of this list, but your tomatoes are not
setting fruit because of the heat. The pollen in the flowers is dead
because of our high temps. Try to keep your plants alive and free of
insects and disease, even prune them back a bit, and when it cools down, if
it ever does, they should start producing again.
Check Duncan's Mailing List Archives page at http://www.mallorn.com/lists.
There you'll find archives of other lists and you can research your
question there. You'll also find info on other lists besides this one which
is 'supposed' to be limited to propagation. I know there is a veggie
list,too.

For rare seeds I like J. L. Hudson's, Star Route 2, Box 337, La Honda, CA 94020
