If your tomato plants are like mine at the moment, they’ll be growing strongly, producing flowers, and maybe even showing the first fruits. It is a crucial time in the season, and there are certain things you need to do with tomato plants in July to keep them healthy; the most important is watering.
As the focus shifts from producing foliage to developing and ripening fruit, it is pivotal to keep the plants well-watered, especially when the temperatures soar. If they dry out, they will drop flowers, and inconsistent watering can lead to split fruits and blossom-end rot. Tomato plants also need to be fed and pruned this month to ensure no energy is wasted and to help your plants avoid succumbing to disease.
