Unless we are having 100 degree or higher temperatures, then water every 3 or 4 days. Also do not pick the tomatoes until about 2-3 days after you water and your fruit will be sweeter. Onions take a long time to grow. Give them 6 months or until the tops start popping out of the soil. Or if you like them small, harvest them sooner. Taste your lettuce before eating it because once it bolts, (grows straight up in the middle of the plant) the leaves will have a bitter taste. Now pray for some sun and heat so the tomatoes and all the other heat loving plants will continue to grow. It is time to start seedlings for our fall gardens! Mother Nature never gives us a break!Drama Mama RJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01835867168611360786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7152402199483697270.post-19958123443966441182011-07-14T12:28:12.139-07:002011-07-14T12:28:12.139-07:00Master Gardener Randy Jane says not to give the to...Master Gardener Randy Jane says not to give the tomatoes too much water, and that will encourage them to make more tomatoes and fewer leaves. I have taken her at her word (who would question the Master Gardener?) and shut off the water at the tomato site. Will keep you updated!Jodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15529990532687890223noreply@blogger.com
