I'm located in inland southern California, zone 9b. Normally I'd be harvesting ripe tomatoes by now, but I'm certainly not complaining about this cooler weather. This is the second year I've grown tomatoes over this arch, really love how it looks when fully covered.

Man I wish my tomatoes would go crazy... right now I'm starting to worry I may not get many this year. Last year I grew cherry tomatoes and they took over half the garden bed and produced so many tomatoes that we couldn't possibly use them all. Not sure why the Rutgers I planted aren't wanting to do the same...
