Tomato Plant, Day 29

Warm weather and bright sunshine ushered in lots of new growth and even brought out a few flowers. As you'll see the plant grew quite a bit. So long as the temperatures remain below 90 during the day and below 70 at night, tomato plants will set fruit. Virginia's cooperative extension has a great page on tomato culture, which explains fruit set more. Apparently, optimal fruit set happens when nighttime temperatures are in the 60s.
