The tomato crop can be negatively impacted when there isn’t sufficient rain. Choose a fertilizer with extra nitrogen to increase foliage growth. Watering correctly is important, too, especially in the heat. Overhead watering is the big no no as it can cause burning and fungal diseases. Regular watering — once or twice a week, deeply — and mulching to retain moisture will both help to prevent disorders and keep your tomatoes healthy through the dry, hot season.
