manolos mom. it gets very hot here in our area too.
We managed to have great tomatoes, as a suggestion this is what helped. We would buy a roll of clear thick plastic and a wide roll field fencing or chicken wire, then make individual round cylinders,staple a layer of the plastc on the outside of the cylinder. It makes its own little greenhouse and really does help in the hot weather and also the wind, enabling the tomatoes to set. We always put lots of compost around the base of each plant before placing the cylinder around it, it really does help.

Our friends are going to do the tilling next week and I asked them to get the wood shavings along with the rest of the things to till in, wood shavings really help to keep the moisture in. I also did this with several other things that tended not to do well in the hot weather with amazing results.
