The tragedy of the tomato plant

Well, it’s official!!! My tomato plants aren’t going to bear fruits.
You see, for tomatoes flowers to be pollinated, the temperature should not go below 12 degree Celsius at night nor go above 32 degree Celsius during day. Well, Dubai the current temperature are constantly above 40 degrees Celsius and all my efforts at collecting pollen have failed. It seems at these temperatures the pollen becomes unviable. Well so much for fresh organic tomatoes on the table.
Maybe next time I will start the seeds in October.
