Proper watering is crucial for vegetable garden success. Aim to keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water in the morning to minimize evaporation and allow plants to dry before nightfall. Apply 1-2 inches of water per week, adjusting for rainfall. Consider using drip irrigation or soaker hoses for efficient watering. Mulching around plants helps retain moisture. Monitor for signs of over or under-watering and adjust accordingly.
