I am in Lahore. The past few days, my tomato plants have been burning in the summer heat. They are planted in the ground and get daily watering and the soil stays damp. But still leaves are turning yellow. Do I need to give them some shade or is it too hot for growing tomatoes.

It is getting very hot in Punjab and tomatoes are not going to grow in this heat. I would recommend to start new tomatoes from seeds or seedlings following August.

Thanks, I guess that's the end of my Tomatoes. Can you please recommend some vegetables that can withstand the heat.

You can start fresh tomatoes, plant Okra, beans, armenian cucumbers, melons....

Ok, I'll give Okra a try. Is it ok to plant seeds at this time

Yes

Izhar bhai Can Established tomato plants can survive the heat of Karachi if provided shade in Summer?

No Mustansir, established tomatoes have big leaves and they suffer great heat stress as compared to smaller ones...

all good things eventually come to an end
