Njoynit,

Cherry tomatoes in and of themselves are very easy to grow. I've heard that folks in some very hot/humid areas like Sydney, Australia and Houston use shade cloth for their tomatoes during the worst part of the summer with good results. You might try growing determinate (shorter plants) or dwarf cherry tomatoes in pots that can be moved during these harsher parts of the summer. Cherry tomatoes still produce fairly well even in dappled sunlight. We had a yellow pear cherry tomato that grew 5' long in a hanging basket under a cherry tree. That plant had no business growing that large in a basket containing 1 gallon of soil, but it did and I didn't ask questions.

Good luck,
Julianna
