Water the garden deeply every week or two, depending on how consistently hot the weather has been and whether plant roots have grown deep into the soil. Tomatoes and other large plants in clay loam soil use about 1 foot of water in three days of hot, dry weather. Some wilting of foliage at the end of a hot, dry day is to be expected, but wilting through to the following morning indicates the immediate need for a deep watering for the roots.

Fuchsias are growing like crazy now. Keep the branch tips pinched back to the next set of leaves to promote abundant flowering. Fuchsias are heavy feeders so pour on the fertilizer. |
