  root system development vs. heat and demand upon said
root system.  if your upper portion of the plants is
more than what the roots can provide...  one way to 
deal with this is to limit how many fruits you allow
to develop (which is sad).

  normally for us this happens with the first fruits
developed during the season and then improves with
later production.  this year there is a longer time
of BER and i've had to discard those fruits.

  with the tomato processing season just getting going
we'll see how it goes, but this year has been a real
struggle with a lot of issues so my hopes are right now
is to just get through it and do my best with what we
get.
