When watering a vegetable garden it's best to water your vegetable garden at least once or twice per week and water the vegetable garden at least with 2 inches of water.

Watering the vegetable garden more often and shallower can lead to weaker root growth of the vegetable garden due to water evaporation.

So give the vegetable garden a deep watering with at least 2 inches of water per week twice per week.

The watering amounts can vary depending on the vegetables in the garden but usually 2 inches of water per week or twice per week should be enough.

If you notice the soil in the garden starting to dry out or the weather is hotter then you may need to water the garden a little more often.
