Watering: Water each seedling deeply immediately after planting. Continue to water regularly, especially during dry periods.
Mulching: Apply a layer of organic mulch, such as straw or wood chips, around the base of your plants. This helps retain moisture, suppress weeds, and regulate soil temperature.
