I'm a real novice at gardening. I have 3 tomato plants and a courgette on my balcony in small individual pots. I also have a large-ish trough with basil, thyme, parsley and chives.
I've been watering them every night but I'm unsure as to how much water I should use. Should it be enough that the water comes out of the bottom of the pots or is that too much? My tomato plants have been flowering but the flowers have been dying before fruiting so I wondered if this was due to lack of water.
Also, the plastic trough of herbs didn't have any holes in the bottom. Is this ok or should I drill some in so that it can drain?
