Tomato plants are withering in the heat
I am in Lahore. The past few days, my tomato plants have been burning in the summer heat. They are planted in the ground and get daily watering and the soil stays damp. But still leaves are turning yellow. Do I need to give them some shade or is it too hot for growing tomatoes.

Re: Tomato plants are withering in the heat
It is getting very hot in Punjab and tomatoes are not going to grow in this heat. I would recommend to start new tomatoes from seeds or seedlings following August.

Re: Tomato plants are withering in the heat
No Mustansir, established tomatoes have big leaves and they suffer great heat stress as compared to smaller ones...
