Posting for all you outdoor gardening lovers! I have found that waiting to water your garden a bit later then is ideal will help drought resistance. I suggest doing this when there are few inches tall. Plus for all those tomato lovers remember to decapitate your tomatoes! Yes, chop the heads of your tomato baby’s right above the first node and they will grow into two stems! 🍅🥦🥬🫛🍓

yes! I did this this summer and i have watered manually only twice (granted we’ve had a fair bit of rain) but it’s really been working!
