Are you all growing tomato in pots? My Julienne tomato’s produced throughout last summers’ heat with a weekly deep watering, no shade. They are in a deep bed of composted horse manure.

No pots. If the heat isn't too bad, the tomatoes do well. Last year was a killer, though.

I have everything in buried pots. My tomatoes are in 4 gal pots buried to the neck with the bottom cut out. Each year I simply pull the pot up and dump the dirt into a wheelbarrow and change the dirt in the pot to keep from growing tomatoes in the same dirt. New dirt comes from my compost pile now that I have it going and the old dirt goes into the compost pile or into pots that I’m growing something else in. My way of rotating crops but their always in the same spot in my garden! LOL
