@FreyjaW: I agree with you about letting them stay on the dry side. Western Washington can be tricky for tomatoes in the fall, too, because if we have a cool, wet fall, the fruit cracks and get's blossom end rot & cat facing before early blight sets in. In our case, consistent watering is important no matter if it's wet or dry, you will have fewer problems if the watering is consistent.
