Do you grow cucumbers? If so, do you keep their bed damp?

I do grow cukes. I stick my finger down about 1 inch into the soil, and if it's dry, I water. I also mulch heavily, so watering isn't a big deal for me. It takes quite a while for things to really dry out. Days.

I do know my containerized stuff (herbs mainly) are much more sensitive to watering than the stuff in the big garden.

I also am outside checking stuff up to 20 times a day. Twice an hour sometimes.
