That depends on the temperature. With temps around 90, I water my plants every other day. When they get to be 100, I will water almost every day. I don't get too scientific with the amount I water. As long as they get a good drink, then they should be fine.


I check mine every day, and if the soil doesn't look damp I water them. I have larger pots with drain holes, and if they do get watered every day some will drain out at the bottom. I'm just watering with a pitcher since they're on my upper deck, but in the past I would use the hose and a sprayer attachment. Doesn't take much time or water using the hose, just wet the soil and don't overwater them.

Cucumber Question:

Noticed that on about 90% of my new, inch long cucumbers it looks like the end is nibbled off. Seems that they then end up wilting away soon afterwards as well. (Realize a picture would help but Imgur isn't working for me)

Is this the local rabbit? Or do I have some sort of strange disease on my hands?
Haven't caught the rabbit(s) in the act so not entirely sure it's them.
