do tomatoes use water overnight?

Lately, the very hot days are causing the tomatoes to thrive, and I finally have about 15 green tomatoes on my Early Girl, which is the furthest along. By late afternoon, the tomatoes are in shade, looking healthy but the soil is somewhat dry. I know it is bad for any plants to be wet overnight (because it encourages pests). But should I give these plants another shot of water at this time to moisten the soil for any overnight growth that occurs? Do the tomatoes just sleep overnight or do they grow? I'd go ahead and water them if they need it, regardless of what time of day it is. I've always done this: especially when I worked, plants had to take their watering whenever it was convenient for me to do it. Probably others would do differently. Pat |
