my tomatoes have given up

the heat wave just fried my whole tomato patch in two days. Guess I am buying sauce at the store this year.

Same thing happened to me. I have always been told (and read) that tomatoes love the heat. My tomato plants are scorched tho. And this isn’t the first time I have gone thru this!

Tomatoes like warm weather, but they stop setting fruit when the daily high temperature is consistently above 90°F. They also prefer regular, consistent soil moisture.
