Wilds aren't as thirsty?
 

Hi,


I have always thought of the garden tomato as a thirsty critter who "drinks my milkshake" and then some.

But it seems that my wilds not only require less but if they are given the same proportions of water as the domestics they actually suffer a bit.


any one else get this impression?

Yes from wild cherry I have grown and the wild peppers I have growing.
And it stands to reason considering where they are from.

But when will they want to drink your milkshake? How much mixing does it take?

Tomatoes grown under dryland farming are some of the best tasting of all, though the yields are not spectacular.
