One tomato variety (five plants in one raised bed) is a goner. Disease, 100 degree weather, cool nights...I don’t know what killed them.
But the Romas are still kicking out four or five a day. A month ago, it was a dozen every day...

Consider a side dressing of balanced fertilizer to revitalize a lazy fruit production.
A balanced fertilizer such as 10-10-10 probably will perk up production.

Roma’s are hard to beat. Hubby got the best crop he’s had for a while using 5 gallon buckets, after he added bone meal and Epsom salts to take care of blossom end rot.

This year he planted two other varieties - not much produced and they almost all have mushy spots etc.

JRandomFreeper always just planted Romas period.
