WE live in NE FL, where it is HOT and are often watering our tomatoes twice a day because they are wilting so bad. They aren't even flowering anymore, just too hot I guess. Of course we've also had tons of rain last week (we didn't water then) and maybe it was too much for them? The peppers are doing good still, but not the tomatoes. Guess peppers are better adapted to handling heat?

I will try flicking the buds if I see anymore showing up.
