Tomato plant almost dried out - summer strikes


In hot climate locations, tomato as a crop is planted in winter and typically fruit starts growing during spring and early summer. As the heat of summer becomes more severe, the leaves start drying up and pretty soon the entire vine starts dying out. From that point onwards, it is a race to ensure that the entire crop of ripe tomatoes is harvested before the plant finally dies out. In the video, one can see that the plant is almost dry, but there are fruits that are ripe and red. They can last for another few days on the plant if they are not picked, else they start getting wrinkled and will soon dry out if not picked. And that would be the end of one season for tomatoes.
