Plant marigolds all around them; the scent drives off most unwanted bugs.





If you keep them well watered, the heat will be no problem, though the fruits' skin will be a bit thicker than "normal."
Reply:your plants may survive if you keep watering them. however, they wont set fruit when its over 90 degrees. i live in north tx and my garden is pretty much done till fall.
Reply:You can spray with insecticidal soap - it is not toxic or harmful and safe to use.
