The vegetable you're most likely overwatering is the tomato. The one you're most likely underwatering is the carrot.

Both problems look the same above ground — wilting, yellowing, poor fruit. The difference is invisible underneath. Overwatered roots sit in saturated soil and quietly stop working. Underwatered roots stay shallow and brittle, chasing moisture that was never deep enough to hold.

One inch of water per week sounds simple until you realize each vegetable measures that inch differently.

🌿 The ones people get wrong most often:

- Tomatoes want deep, infrequent soaks — water that pushes roots down, not daily sprinkles that keep them at the surface. Wet leaves invite disease, so water the base only
- Lettuce wants the opposite — light and frequent, because the roots barely reach past a few inches. Let the surface dry and the plant bolts
- Carrots split when watering is uneven. A dry week followed by a heavy soak cracks the root from the inside. Steady wins
- Corn demands the most water during tasseling — miss that window and the ears don't fill out. The rest of the season it's more forgiving
- Beans hate wet foliage. Water at the base, not overhead — wet leaves are where fungal problems start

🪴 One rule that covers most of the chart:

- Push a finger into the soil past the first knuckle. If it's dry at that depth, water deeply. If it's still damp, wait. The calendar doesn't know what the soil knows

Water the chart, not the calendar 💧
