Hi, the first time I grew tomatoes they were fantastic.But since then
its been really hard so I have done alot of searching online. I found
out that you should only water them at the base of the root only, give
them a good soak at least once a week. If you are going to spray the
leaves and the fruit do it early in the morning or in the evening when
the sun goes down. If there is not enough foilage to help protect the
fruit from the sun I would find some source of shade so they are
exposed all day. Keep trying, you'll find the answers. Mary
