Tomato plants loving the heat and setting fruit

This has been an unusually warm and dry summer, with high temperatures in June mostly in the low to mid-70s and even high-70s by the last week, with overnight lows in the mid-50s.

By the end of June, many of the tomato plants had already set fruit. By June 25th Sungold had set the most, with 20 fruit that were 1 cm or larger. Its first fruit even began blushing by June 25th, about 2 1/2 weeks earlier than in 2013 even though the Sungold planted was slightly smaller and was only planted 10 days earlier than the year before. The other cherry tomatoes (Chadwick, Sun Sugar, Black Cherry, and Matt's Wild Cherry) had also set fruit by June 25th.
