| I've got about a month left, give or take a week. Last few years, we've had very warm September that sometimes spread into October. My question is how to water at this stage? I have been doing the finger test and watering deep as needed and that has worked pretty well for me. I don't want the plants to die but I am not sure how to water that is best for the fruit that still is ripening. Thanks in advance! |

| cut down quite a bit. Probably you will get some rain , anyway. But if there was no rain at all, and the soil was getting REAL dry, then lightly water. I have stopped watering but we got close to 2" of rain last couple of days. With cooler temperature, soil will stay moist longer BTW: are your plants in ground or in pots? JUST MY OPINION, as do with mine. |

| I meant to mention that they are in the ground. I will cut down on watering. Thanks! |

| Not the right thread, but do you know if you can do the same for pumpkins? I have them in with my tomatoes in the same plot. |
