I recently just potted newly sprouted Jalapeños and Tomatoes. After a day of not watering they are now flat on the ground. What happened? And how can I “revive” them? Please help!

The jalapeños’ soil needs to be wet at all times, usually around 2 times a week or more if it’s dry weather. Tomatoes need to be watered everyday as well!

Okay! Thank you so much!

If it’s 80 or higher I water daily in the morning before the sun comes up. This allows them to soak it all up and the excess to dry off.

Don’t be afraid to water. See a lot of gardeners that worry but you’ll most out on a lot of growth if they’re not watered well.
