WATER WISELY during hot days!!

For vegetable crops that produce fruit (tomatoes, peppers, etc.), as well as those that  produce edible bulbs and roots (onions, potatoes, carrots), these next few weeks are the critical period for irrigation.

 

During this period of fruit, root and bulb formation, plants need very consistent moisture to avoid avoid physiological issues like blossom end rot and hollow heart .   Make sure you continue to water wisely: water in the mornings, water at the base of the plants and use mulches to keep your soil moist.
