I've noticed that my tomato plants are wilting at the same time for the second consecutive year. I'm wondering why this could be happening. What are some possible reasons for this issue, and how can I prevent it from occurring again?

It sounds like your tomatoes might not be getting enough water. They can be really thirsty plants, especially in hot weather. Make sure to check the soil moisture regularly and water them more consistently. Sometimes it's better to give them smaller amounts of water throughout the day, especially if they're in direct sunlight all day, rather than just soaking them once.
Have you checked the moisture level under the mulch? If the mulch is keeping the soil moist, that might not be the issue. Make sure to examine that layer, as it can create a cool, moist environment, which is great for tomatoes.
Exactly! If you just splash water on them once, they might not have enough time to develop strong roots. Deep watering is key so they can thrive.
