It is finally springtime here in the southern hemisphere, and my
first year of gardening.

I live in a fairly humid environment, but with strong sunshine.

So I am wondering what would be a good watering schedule for
vegetables in containers (kept outdoors.)

In 10-litre (2.5 gal) buckets, I have broccoli, spinach, lettuce,
zuccini, and capsicum (bell pepper.)

I may also add couliflour, and a few others in similar-sized
containers.

There are also some tomato plants, which will go into 20-litre (5
gal) buckets this weekend.

So I am looking for advice on watering schedules???

Thanks in advance...
