I’ve been watching the UV index instead of the temperature and where I am it’s mostly in the 6-8 range. Every so often a day that’ll be 9 or 10. My tomatoes are still small since our season starts later than you. We were getting cold nights until a month ago. Do I need shade cloth yet? Or when I have more consistent days of above 8?

Thanks! Another thing you can do is grow large sunflowers around the tomato plants to give a little bit of relief from the sun. I am doing that currently in my garden and you can use them as a natural trellis as well. To those of you out there struggling with growing food, don’t give up! Keep at it, we all have failures and it doesn’t mean you can’t grow things. 💚 Happy gardening!

50 years ago, my grandparents always had a beautiful, plentiful garden in North Alabama. They did nothing special other than a small amount of triple 13 when sewing seeds and a little Sevens dust occasionally. I watch all of these videos and enjoy the new things I learn but confused as to why so many "don't do this" and "always do that". I don't have money to purchase all of the gadgets and extras to try and mimic a perfect garden. I just use what I have on hand.

Tomatoes loathe full sun. They're a part-shade species. They can take it in the spring when the days are shorter and sun is weaker, but in summer, even in northern latitudes, it's often too much. It's even worse at high altitudes where the air is thinner.

The plants are in separate areas so I could leave on the shade over the nightshades all the time. They’re all so much happier. Shade cloth for the win! 🙌

We are currently going through a bad heat wave of 100+ temps and yesterday it was about 113! The other 2 plants look fine. I'll keep an eye on this plant and see what happens.

The most likely cause was that the manure came from grass fed cows in a pasture treated with weed killer. The next year I planted tomatoes in the same spot but removed most of the soil and replaced with compost and I again have beautiful tomatoes.

Oh, now I am confused. We have had lots and lots of rain lately, with many cloudy days. My tomato leaves started curling. I did some research online, and most places said the leaves will curl with too much rain, but when the plants dry out, the leaves will uncurl! We have not had a lot of hot sun here, so I don't think they are curling because of that, so maybe there are more reasons for them to curl than you stated? I was happy to learn that they would uncurl when dried out, but now I'm wondering. Very confusing.

Thanks for subscribing. If you get yourself a small shade cloth and erect it overhead so it completely covers them, it'll make the plants a lot healthier. I put my shade cloth up roughly Memorial Day to Labor Day. It makes a world of difference. I placed a link in the video description to the cloth I use. Small clothes are pretty inexpensive. I use 40%. Most won't want to go higher than 40%, because too much shade will make them leggy.

People sometimes mistake herbicide drift damage with leaf curl as well. If the leaves and stems start growing in curly shapes, this is most likely herbicide damage. It usually does not kill the tomato plant but stunts it and may delay it from setting fruit. There are some commonly used lawn weed killers that are quite prone to drift and tomatoes are very sensitive to these chemicals.

People shouldn't be using those chemicals on windy days.

@joeellerbach2095 22 күн бұрын

@@donhorak9417 I agree. However, wind is not the only culprit that causes these herbicides to drift. There are conditions that cause the vapor to hang in the air and drift up to a mile even without much wind.

I can attest to what herbicides can do to tomatoes, peppers, cukes, squash, and cantaloupes. A field near my garden was sprayed with herbicides on a windy day this spring. It raven settled into the soil as my re-plats suffered the same fate. The third plantings are doing well however.

Thanks for the info! Found a weed barrier cloth i already had and some clothes pins. Cheap and quick fix. Hopefully the tomatoes will quit curling.

I would recommend investing in a piece of shade cloth. A 20ft piece is only around $25 and it'll last you a decade if you care for it. I think I'm up to 6 of them. They're worth it. I placed a link in the video description.

I have one little Roma tomato plant that has looked kind of sad sack since the day I transplanted it and even though it is bearing more fruit and the fruit is ripening faster than the other tomatoes (no other Romas) I'm wondering if shade cloth would be a good idea for it. What do you think? Can't hurt.
