water for Vegetables

Posted by parupudi 8/9a (My Page) on

Hi,

I have my Tomatoes, Peppers, Eggplant, Okra and Dosakai all on one vegetable bed next to each other.

My dilemma is - Tomatoes and Pepper do not need regular watering. They need deep watering 2x a week.

But eggplant, Okra and Dosakai need watering so that the plant doesn't dry up too much.

Here in houston it is too hot now in summer with 100F.And all these plants are on south side where they get full sun for 8hrs.

How should i balance out the watering requirements?
Will the tomato and pepper get effected if i water like every 2 days or so(but not deep)?

Isolate the plants by hilling as shown in the pic.Then you may water as per need.

Hi Chaman,
That's a lovely veggie patch you have. Unfortunately, I don't have that much of space.

I only have like a 10ft bed where i have the tomatoes, peppers etc. I made an extra bed of 13X5 for my beans and gourds.
