If they are in the ground (like in a garden) they need at least 1 inch of water per week unless it's excessively dry. (That's water until the is soaked to the depth of 1 inch. Daily watering is needed if they are in a container.Helpful Reply -

If the top of the soil is dry to the touch surrounding the plant it's time to water. Because of tomatoes and other veggies being water reliant for a juicy, succulent fruit (of the vine), you want to make sure that they are kept moist but don't drown them. I've always found that misting work well when they are potted and I usually do this AM and PM.Helpful Reply -

Keep a bit moist until they set flowers, then let them get fairly dry before watering, from the bottom, don't get plant wet..Helpful Reply -
