Watering Tomatoes in Hot Weather

Deep and steady beats a little bit every day.

The quick answer

Water deeply a couple of times a week at the base of the plant, early in the day. Avoid soaking the leaves overhead in the evening.

The quick answer

In the heat, water deeply and less often, right at the base of the plant, early in the day. Steady moisture is what keeps fruit from cracking and helps prevent blossom-end rot.

A lesson we learned the hard way

Overhead watering in the evening keeps the leaves wet overnight, which is an invitation for disease. Water the roots, not the leaves, and do it in the morning when you can.
