Thanks for the reminder about the tomatoes.

The problem is.... rain.

Can’t control Mother Nature.

That’s true - but in all my years (decades!) of growing tomatoes, they seem to WELCOME rainwater over overhead watering from the hose or sprinkler.

I have no idea how they know the difference! :)

I’ve also found that I have MUCH better production and less disease issues in a ‘dry’ year when I am personally tending to my plants while Mother Nature is off doing other things and NOT raining on me. ;)
