Too hot?

Yeah, basically. Long, hot humid days and nights.


Where I live (southern Utah) we get really hot days (about 105 this week),
so I sprinkle my tomatoes during the hottest art of the day, to cool them
down and fool them into setting fruit, But it's very dry here, so the
leaves evaporate right away and there is no threat of mold. I guess with
you being in Florida, that wouldn't work due to the humidity and possibility
of fungus.
