Watering. A good rule of thumb is 1 to 2 inches of water per week. It takes approximately 60 gallons of water for 100 sq. feet to equal 1 inch.

My gardens are divided into 3’x4’ sections. So it's easy to know about what is needed. Then I just watch them, and add more as needed. If they look a little thirsty, I stick my finger into the soil (finger is 3 inches long). If the soil is not moist, it's time for a little more water.

We are having a nice little rain here. Started about 30 minutes ago. Are ya’ll getting any of this precipitation?

I test my soil for moister just like using the toothpick in checking baking. If if comes out clean, add water, if it has soil clinging to the finger, it is okay. YMMV
