We got about 20 minutes of rain a couple nights ago. First in who knows how long. It also brought the temperature out of the 100s - hey, 99 isn’t three digits.
The tomatoes have had it. Don’t know if it was just too much heat or if hubby spraying them with Miracle Grow did them in but they turned yellow the very next day.
Still no zukes. Huge healthy plants but not zukes.
Foliar feeding in triple digit heat with no rain is not your best option. If you used regular Miracle Grow, it probably had more nitrogen than the plant could metabolize under stress. For tomatoes in hot, dry weather, I would recommend feeding something like Pennington pelleted tomato food, placed around the base of the plant, which will dissolve over time when you water.
