Tomatoes are a capricious and very fragile crop.

Therefore, the growing process should be approached with special responsibility in order to ultimately harvest an excellent crop of aromatic and juicy vegetables.

You need to water the bushes very carefully so as not to accidentally harm the plants.

As soon as the seedlings are planted in open ground, they need to be watered with special care.

It is important that drops of water do not fall on the delicate leaves. Also, when watering, it is better to use a cup, not a hose or a watering can. In this case, the roots will definitely not be damaged.

When the tomatoes begin to bush out, they can be hilled.

During this period, you need to water not the bushes themselves, but the spaces between the rows, so as not to wash away the soil.

It is also important to remember that you cannot overwater plants.

It is enough to water the beds once every 4-5 days, but you also need to take into account the weather. If it is hot outside and there is no rain for a long time, then you should water the tomatoes more often.
