Sweeter Tomatoes?

My tomatoes are bigger than your tomatoes! Photo from July 2nd, Zone 6.5-7
Follow my awesome tomato tips and you could have tomatoes like these! The single most important thing I am doing now that I have fruit is regularly watering the plants.  As I learned in high school, irregular watering makes for irregular growth.  My high school tomatoes were lop-sided and covered in weird nodules of fleshy tomato.  I have also heard that regular but lighter watering when the plants are producing fruit results in sweeter tomatoes.  This does not mean let the plants wilt!  Just.. give a little less long a drink with the usual frequency.

Good growing!
