That doesn't sound too bad. Maybe you've lost blossoms to high heat and very high winds like I have. The high winds have just sucked the water out of the plants and I think that stresses them and reduces fruit set. We have had unusually high winds for this late in the year. March came in like a lion and stayed. Trying to spray anything has been a real chore. I think I get more on me than the plants and most of it has just blown away. I have already seen some early blight and lost one to fusarium and one to TSWV. The only insect problem I have had is thrips on the tomatoes and aphids on the peppers. I have had a lot of leaf curling at the tops of very healthy plants but I don't know what that is.
We got an inch of rain last night without any tornadoes so I was very thankful. I went out today to put some plants in the ground and when I dug down a few inches in some spots the ground was still very dry but at least it was a bit cooler.
