With the summer heat building here in Central Florida, my tomato plants which until now have been providing us fresh tomato's on an almost daily basis, have been struggling to set fresh fruit. Tomato's love heat, but not too much of it. They generally set fruit best when the temperature holds steady between 70 and 80 degrees which makes them a great Fall and Spring plant, but with temperatures now firmly stuck in the low 90's here in the Orlando area, I think its time to close out my 2011/2012 season.
So with my tomato plants about to meet their demise and the new season at least six months away, it's time to start thinking about what summer crops will work best in my potted plant jungle. I'm due to go to my local Home Depot today, so I think I will swing by and check out the plant nursery and see if I can get a little inspiration.
