When I first heard that tomatoes needed so much water, I grabbed a water hose and gave the plants a good drenching till the soil didn't soak up any more water. And sure enough, we've had plenty of tomatoes in recent days. It may be a psychological thing, or perhaps it's the variety of tomato we planted, but tomatoes you've picked yourself really do taste sweeter and juicier.
我第一次知道，原來蕃茄喝水喝的那麼兇，我拿著水管反覆來回地澆灌一陣子，土壤總算沒再變乾了；果然這幾天我都有蕃茄可吃，可能因為心理作用和品種不同，田裡現採現吃的蕃茄，真的是香甜多汁。
