A couple of times a week I've been letting the hose run till it fills each trench. I'm sure that has helped. I didn't water much to start off with and the earlies were like wizzened prunes.

Do you have any problems when it comes to irrigation? It seems that one of the factor causing my poor harvest was partly due to this factor. Hope you can enlighten me a little here.
