I live in country with constant heat and wet&dry seasons.

I wonder if there's any generic method to get tomatoes or any vegetable supply available all year around?
Right now all my plants have ripe tomatoes during the summer (dry season) and I dont get any harvest during the wet season even if its varm climate.

Is there any way to delay the cycle of the plans so I can rotate the harvest between them to cover the whole year?

Are the wet seasons hotter. Tomato flowers don't set well if the temps are above 90F. If it gets to warm the flowers can drop off.

I heard its night time low temperature in the 70F or higher that cause tomatoes to stop producing. So klevelyn has a point, too warm and the plant stops producing. Where are you, and what the typical high day and night temperatures of your wet and dry season?

Along with the temperature, plants do have a life cycle and will naturally stop producing no matter the temp. I can garden almost all year with the exception of one or 2 months. In order to have a continuous supply of tomatoes, after about 3 months I start new plants. Again temperature will determine if this is possible. You can start the plants anytime, however production will be dependent on temperature and weather conditions.
