By the time you hit late June in Alabama most types of tomatoes will not set fruit in this type of heat. There are some hybrids out there that are supposed to still produce in the heat of summer but I have little experience with them. The best index to a person’s character is (a) how he treats people who can’t do him any good, and (b) how he treats people who can’t fight back. - Abigail van Buren
