Maintaining a watering regime allows you to avoid many troubles in the garden. At a minimum, you can prevent the development of diseases due to excessive moisture and the appearance of pests.
But in the case of tomatoes and peppers, it’s a different story.
Experienced gardeners told how they water tomatoes in greenhouses and open ground at the end of August, as well as how to properly deal with peppers.
How to water tomatoes
At the end of summer, tomatoes that grow in open ground do not require much water. The fact is that they remain in the beds until the fruit ripens.
Watering is carried out only if the plants have completely drooped.
Tomatoes in greenhouses are watered less frequently and at the same time the amount of water is reduced.
It is believed that it is enough to water them once a week.
How to water peppers
But peppers need watering. If August is moderately warm, then the irrigation regime is 1-2 times a week.
If the weather is hot and dry, the peppers will have to be watered every day.
If it rains, there is no need for watering at all.
