📚 Plant Water Needs Reference

Plant	Water Needs	Frequency	Signs of Thirst
🍅 Tomatoes	High	Every 2-3 days (deep watering)	Wilting leaves, blossom end rot
🌶️ Peppers	High	Every 2-3 days	Drooping leaves, flower drop
🥬 Lettuce	High	Daily in hot weather	Bitter taste, bolting
🥕 Carrots	Medium	Every 3-5 days	Cracked roots, slow growth
🥒 Cucumbers	High	Every 1-2 days	Bitter fruit, yellowing leaves
🎃 Squash	High	Every 2-3 days	Wilting vines, poor fruit set
🫘 Beans	Medium	Every 3-4 days	Pod drop, stunted growth
🌿 Basil	Medium	Every 2-3 days	Drooping leaves, dry soil

⚠️ Important: These are general guidelines. Always check soil moisture before watering! Stick your finger 2″ into soil – if it’s dry, water. If moist, wait.

💡 Smart Watering Tips

⏰ Best Time to Water

Early morning (6-10 AM) is ideal. Water has time to soak in before heat, and foliage dries quickly preventing disease.

💧 Deep vs Shallow

Water deeply but less often – encourages deep root growth. Better than frequent shallow watering.

👆 The Finger Test

Stick your finger 2″ into soil. Dry = water now. Moist = wait. This is more reliable than a schedule!

🎯 Water the Roots

Direct water at the soil, not leaves. Wet foliage invites disease. Use soaker hoses or drip irrigation when possible.

🍃 Mulch Magic

2-3″ of mulch reduces water needs by 50%! Keeps soil moist longer, reduces evaporation.

🌡️ Temperature Matters

Hot days (85°F+): May need daily watering
Cool days: Every 3-4 days
