Default wilting tomatoes

the tops seem to be wilting a bit...the GH is transparent polycarbonate, it
gets sun all day until around 3pm.
The soil was *very* dry prior to me planting them in there, I mean it was
like dust, even a foot down, although I did leave the hosepipe running in
there for a few hours before planting them out (about 6 weeks ago), they are
now 5ft high and the top 100mm has flopped...I've given them a good dousing
today with the hosepipe over a hook on fine spray for about 4 hours...does
anyone think I may need some shading or is it water? - the poly isn't
totally see-through.


also some of the flower trusses have turned black and dropped off before
flowering properly, is there some disease afoot here? - there were toms in
there last year but I didn't disinfect this spring.
