Usually watering too much you get brown leaves and die-back. Not watering enough you get limp wilty leaves and eventually die-back. It is something you have to get into a groove with your plants on. The going suggestion on this message board is about 2 inches of water a week and have some period of drying between the waterings so the ground is not always saturated. I have found that putting some plain water in a sprayer bottle from the dollar store and spritzing the plants and stems makes them happy as well. Mine are on a 3rd floor porch and don't get the morning dew, so I try to replace that in the evenings this way. I would suggest finding one of the many books on tomato growing or container vegetable gardening and see what someone who gets paid to know these things thinks as well. Jim C.
