Should we be watering everyday? I have been so far, with the drip system it is easy to do.

I had to give mine a break the last couple days it has been real wet, I would like to see the soil dry out real good before I water again, only because Im affraid of rot.

My location is DRY and HOT. I water with a drip system 2 times a day for 30 minute intervals using 5 gal/hr drippers. Before I started doing this I was loosing plants to dehydration. Since I installed a timer, the whole garden is starting to look lush, and the vines are starting to grow more evenly. I don't think this works everywhere, though. In more humid climates, this could be bad. Where I live, 15% humidity is typical. 30% humidity, and people start saying things like, "What is this, the East Coast?" So you may want to water less often in Vermont.

I haven't watered for almost a week. We had a huge rain storm, and the soil is still pretty saturated.
