Most of my tomato plants died despite frequent watering. Heat has been brutal at times, since April 1st! That's unheard of here in Maryland, zone 7. Eggplant and peppers have suffered as well but kale has done well. Tough year for vegetable gardeners.
From Pahrump, Nevada. Same here. Not a good year for tomatoes and peppers. The heat wave was brutal. 11 days of 115 degrees or more. Even with shade cloth on planters.
I dont know where all the white flies are coming from this year. Filling every yellow trap I put out. I bought a 10 inch x 30' Yellow sticky trap and put pieces near the tomatoes before tapping the plants and letting the cloud of flies land on the tape. I'm getting tomatoes, but the plants are clearly not as healthy as they should be.
Thank you for sharing, very good tomatos ❤❤❤

My tomatoes are a disaster this year. Triad area, NC poor rain fall for all of July.
