If you don’t have a greenhouse, you can build a shelter for your tomatoes. Then the plants are protected from rain. The advantage: The leaves remain dry and harmful fungi can multiply less well, explains Svenja Schwedtke from the perennial nursery Bornhöved.
The expert advises tomatoes In the morning to water so that the leaves can dry off if water does get on them. The tomatoes are also important to water regularly and thoroughly – on hot summer days every day. If you water irregularly, there is a risk that the fruit will burst open, according to Schwedtke.
