Tomato plants are dying?

How often are you supposed to water tomato plants? We have not had much rain here and sometimes the ground really dries out and I water them but the leaves get all wilted and yellow.Is the ground supposed to be moist all the time? They are not even growing.I just put Miracle Grow on them the other day and it says to do it every 7-14 days. I am stumped.

I water mine daily, but you have to do it either early in the morning, or after the sun has started to go down. If you do it in the dead heat, the water will evaporate quickly, and the leaves will burn.





Pluck off the dead leaves, because this will make the plant healthier. I personally wouldn't use Miracle Grow on veggies.





Tomato plants drink a lot of water, so the soil should be relatively moist all the time. Watering once a day should be enough though.

2) WHEN you water is more important than how much you water. Watering in the high sun part of the day will bake the plants.
Reply:You are supposed to water your plants daily unless it is raining. You should water them well either early morning or late evening. Give them a good soaking for the next few days in the morning and see if it brightens them up.
Reply:You should probably water them every day, especially in high heat. My tomato plants weren't growing much either, until I started daily watering and I used a little hand tool to hoe between the plants and loosen the soil up a little. They are looking good now!
