I live in the Mojave, and I stopped trying to grow tomatoes here. Just too darn hot. I would grow Big boys, and they ripened as cherry tomatoes! Sure, they were tasty, but they never seemed to want to get to full size before ripening.
Now I plant chili peppers, which LOVE the heat/sun. The season has ended, so I'm starving the plants and letting what fruit I do have get red on the vine. Then I'll pluck and dry 'em. Hopefully, the spice will intensify, if rumors are true. We'll see.
I don't feel so bad now, after seeing your picture above!
