You will have to watch it like a hawk. The heat and humidity are murder for tomatoes. Pests and diseases will be another hurdle. Now, I have seen some put sail cloth type canopies over their tomatoes during the heat of summer to help them out with some success. Something that lets most of the light in but gives some shade and relief from living near the Devil's butthole in our South Louisiana summers. I have always just whacked all mine down and replanted for fall but it may be an interesting experiment.

Couple pepper plants have been droopy despite plenty of water. The plants actually have peppers growing but all leaves drooping.

Is my pot too small? Just getting smoked by the summer sun? Not enough water?

I water very good once a day. Thinking about moving to 2 lesser waters a day.
