     yes, also if it is too hot to set fruits it might be a good   
   thing to go out and spray it with some water to cool things   
   off.  note this also will shake the flowers.   
      
     by spraying the plant you may encourage some diseases but   
   i'd rather have some results than none.   
      
     we stopped growing cherry tomatoes here because we ran out   
   of time to pick them and are happy enough with the bigger   
   beefsteak tomatoes we grow.   
      
     as of now the tomato plants we do have growing are taller   
   than the tomato cages and it is very nice in the shade and   
   cooler space between the plants and it smells so good to me   
   as i've always liked the smell of tomato plants.   
      
     it won't be long before i have to start checking the   
   plants for tomato worms.
