A good general guideline is an inch of water per week, either by rain or watering; in arid climates, it is double that. In hot weather, vegetables need even more water, up to about ½ inch per week extra for every 10 degrees that the average temperature is above 60 degrees.

Generally, every vegetables needs all the water they can have. The more water they have, the bigger they will be. But if you guive to much water, it won't taste that much... So when you guive water with a soft pipe, make sure tu set it on the "rain" position. And limit water to the ground, not on leaves and veg'. And when the water start to stay at the surface of the ground, it's the signal to stop watering and change watering area. By the way, guive water when you touch ground and the surface is dry especially by dry weather.
Stick your finger into the dirt and test. Water is good, but too much will make your tomatoes split and your zucchini have no taste at all. No one likes to live in wet feet. Too much can also lead to mold and rot.
