High temps are bad for tomato color change and bean pollination

I've noticed that although my tomato plants have increasing numbers of tomatoes on the vine and the bean plants are quite tall and generally without predators, the bean plants haven't been flowering and the tomatoes are staying green.

I did a bit of reading this evening to try to figure out why.  Since I'm still new to all this gardening (hence the blog name), I figured that I've been doing something wrong.  Turns out, it's just too hot.

Apparently, beans don't like temperatures that stay over 90 degrees.  They won't flower when it stays like that.  It's been well over 90 in this area for a few weeks now. 

The tomatoes have even more issues:

• Tomato plants drop their blossoms when night temps are high.  
• I've seen that occur in my plot.
• Tomato plants won't create lycopene and carotene (pigments responsible for tomato coloration) when temperatures are above 85.  
• As I mentioned above, it's been beastly hot for weeks.  The index today, for example, was 110.

The good news for all this is that the weather predictions are that the temps should drop a bit into the low 80's in a few days.  It's a good thing that the weather forecasters are often right....
