Romas setting fruit

[JennyC]

My Roma tomatoes are finally setting fruit -- I've been giving the poor isolated blooms the hairy eyeball for two weeks now, so maybe that pollinated them

Or maybe squash bugs are good tomato pollinators - I have plenty of those.

Cool, mine have recently started setting their fruit too, still a small amount, but I think I have three romas growing nicely

Sunday, I was tieing up my vines when I discovered roma fruit. There are at least a dozen romas on my plant. I was considering the roma to be uncooperative because I couldn't see any flower or fruit and it insists on sprawling. Now, it wants to go up after it has gone two feet in each direction. Silly plant.

Still waiting here...but I'm inclined to think that the erratic weather in the Bay Area has just confused the daylights out of my Romas--and almost everything else, too.

I *have* harvested some chard and a few small crookneck squash, though.
