Are there new blossoms growing and has any new fruit formed since the heat wave? Basically, does it look like the plant has "recovered" from the heat wave and fruit production has resumed. If the plant has not recovered then you have your answer.<br /><br />If it has recovered then I think your decision should be based on your fondness for whatever variety you're growing. Do you like the flavor enough so that it's worth the wait or does the prospect of growing something else hold greater appeal? <br /><br />Next year I'm going to try avoid all this angst and plant only early season or heat tolerant varieties.adminhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09886352800474264548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-255881587336767342.post-84185059747724648662012-07-25T14:42:46.442-04:002012-07-25T14:42:46.442-04:00Greetings from across the East River!

Most of my bucolic Manhattan garden is doing well, although I'm learning that I probably don't get enough sun light for some of the fruiting plants. I have only one Charentais melon at the moment, but a couple of others look like they may be on the way. (I'm excited to see if the taste lives up to the buzz.) I noticed that a couple of my tomato plants dropped many of their flowers in that last heat storm we had. Since I'm new to gardening, I'd love your thoughts on whether to wait them out or replace them with something else.Jay @ LocalFood.mehttp://www.localfood.menoreply@blogger.com
