Looking good!
Not sure what zone you're in... but watch if the temps start creeping up much over 90, it'll stop the fruits from setting on. In the heat of the summer, I put up an 80% sun shade and that is just enough to keep them cool.

“Setting on?”
The extra heat prevents the blossoms from turning to fruit. Tomatoes, my experience is with roma specifically, like temps in the high 70s to high 80s... much hotter than that will reduce yield. I'm on the road at the moment, I'll see if I can find the research when I stop.
Thanks!
