water for veg

Hi, Just joined the forum.
I did have an allotment in my former home but now have to rely on a small patch in our garden.
I remember reading a book, many years ago about how much water veg need, and when. I cannot remember the title of the book but it was an old one.
Ring any bells with anyone?
I have had some spuds from my little plot, lots of runners, might try dwarf runners next year, and quiet a few tomatoes. One or two beetroot, they got swamped by the spuds, and maybe the odd carrot, swamped also:-)

Welcome to the site Olyman. I agree with Yorkie about watering, but I would add, don't rely on the weatherman when he says it's going to rain 'cos he doesn't get it right for my area!!!!
