You can use a soil thermometer to monitor the soil temperature.
Additionally, consider using techniques like using raised beds or black plastic mulch to help warm up the soil faster and protect the plants from cooler nights. Providing some afternoon shade during the hottest months can also help protect the tomato plants from extreme heat stress.
Lastly, when selecting tomato varieties, opt for those that are heat-tolerant and well-suited for your specific region in Texas. Local nurseries or cooperative extension offices can offer valuable advice on the best tomato varieties for your area.
