08 Water Deeply
Water tomato plants deeply and regularly while the fruits are developing. Here are more watering tips for tomatoes:
Make sure your plants get 1 to 1 1/2 inches of water per week. Give plants an inch of supplemental water each week if there has been little rainfall.
Give wilting tomatoes more water during hot, dry spells.
Supplement your tomato plants with an extra inch of water each week if there has been little rainfall.
Water at the base of the plant or use a soaker hose.
Avoid splashing water on the leaves, which can lead to disease.
After the fruit begins to ripen, ease up on watering so the plant concentrates its sugars for a better-tasting fruit.
Don’t withhold too much water or the plants will continually wilt and become stressed causing them to drop their blossoms and possibly their fruit.
