Watering detached vegetables:[1]
Edible vegetables: It is permitted to water detached vegetables in order to prevent them from shriveling, as since these vegetables are fit to be eaten on Shabbos it is therefore allowed to water them just as it is [similarly] allowed to move them.
Inedible vegetables: However if they are not fit to be eaten today [on Shabbos] in which case they are forbidden to be moved [because of Muktzah] it is [also] forbidden to water them.
