Looks like to much rain is doing in quite a few of my tomato plants. The landscape fabric and the mulch I have topped it with is keeping the soil a little to moist. I need a few days without the afternoon popcorn showers - some have been quite heavy. I will be putting up some shade cloth in the next few days as the temps are rising and the glaring sun and heat to a job on my tomatoes.
We dont mulch over the fabric, so it probably helps evaporation. The garden is on a hill and is sandy soil, so soil too wet has not been a problem for us, plus, this part of Texas doesn’t get much rain in a normal year, less most years lately.
Our “window” in the tree canopy is closing up, I think, so we may not be able to garden much longer. If we don’t get better looking plants going in the next 2 seasons, we will probably shut it down.
