Question:how much water
Answers:
no.. about 6hrs.. i have mine getting morning sun then afternoon shade... & depending on u'r weather.. & humidity... I have potted tom... i water them twice a day really good. In ground if u put mulch around them u may b able to get away w/ twice a day but if u c the leaves curling too mch... more water.
Water every day in this heat. Sun all day is the best but at least 3/4 of a day. Make sure that your soil drains well and that you keep a good layer of mulch. If you can't water ever day then...more mulch and maybe some of the soil water holders.
The more the merrier. That's why tomatoes grow more in the Mediterranean, where the sun is a scorcher.
Water loads, but just after sundown, or the water will boil the roots. (So to speak, but it does damage plants to be watered in the full sun)
My tomato plant gets half-sun and
a daily drink of water.
Right now, it's taking over the back yard.
If it gets any larger, I might have to
re-name it, THE THING.
Today, while I was cutting the grass,
it bit the lawn mover.
Yeap full sun, they love it.
i water mine every 2 to 3 days. get a spade and turn over a small patch of soil, its probably still moist even after a couple of hot sunny days. and full sun is best. good luck
no,but at least 6 to 8 hours the sun helps to sweeten and ripen them better
It needs @ least 6 hrs. I did plant 2 plants last yr. in partial sun, didn,t do great tho. I water every 2-3 days.
