I pulled everything onto the patio. Here in central TX, we don't have soil, just rock, so I have everything in containers. Two solid weeks of 100+ just did too much damage! Everything is in distress!
Wow, that is some nasty sunscald. Makes me very sad to see it. You know I am one of those who uses shade cloth. 30% shade specifically. It helps a lot. Here is how I explain the value of shade cloth. Remember that the weather temperature is recorded in the shade. Shade cloth does not reduce this temperature but what it does help the plant not heat up as much from absorbing the sun energy. Those tomatoes in direct exposure to the sun are getting hotter and hotter and are cooking. Let’s hope to not get more of those crazy high heat days. BTW, no sun scald here at least for this first round. 😎
Luckily 95% of my current Tomatoes are fine, but the few that got burnt are done for. I may have even mentioned your garden in the video. I'd love to come back out and film a video with you for this channel.
