    Can you over water tomatoes

    I have an "orange bush" plant in a grow bag under the house eaves with two other varieties.
    The other two look OK as do all the rest in grow bags.
    But this particular specimen look very wilted. It started off OK but then started to look off.
    The only thing I can think of is I over watered them, but never had problems with over watering before.
    Or is it the type e.g. Orange Bush

    Yes, you can. You will often get a green slime on the surface too, if you've overdone it. You wash the nutrients away and waterlogged soil comtains no air, which the roots need.

      You also get tasteless watering fruits if you water too much, probably cos the nutrients are washed away as Flum says.

      Some of us live in the past, always talking about back then. Some of us live in the future, always planning what we are going to do. And, then there are those, who neither look behind or ahead, but just enjoy the moment of right now.

      Which one are you and is it how you want to be?

        Just to add to what ha been said, you do have little drain holes about an inch up the growbag?

          Overwatering then trying to remedy by underwatering will almost certainly cause blossom end rot.
