Author Garden: Watering n00bGardener Great Gardener Member # 8347 posted                       What is the best time to water IYO.. I always thought evening watering (after sundown)was best but I came across a webiste that suggested early morning watering.. Which do you guys prefer??

It's best if you don't get water on leaves on things like roses and tomatoes. Evening watering is best for water conservation...less evaporation. Whenever you have more time is the real issue! * * * * Dave Even my growlights are getting restless!

Member # 6889 posted                       I've heard that evening watering makes plants more susceptible to disease. (Maybe one of the "experts" will pop in & let us know why that is.) I do mine in the evening anyway, because I don't usually get outside early enough to water before the Sun is beating on everything! * * * * Plants: 6255 | From: SW Oregon interior | Registered: Sep 2005  |  Seeded: 207.200.116.139 johnCT Garden Pro! Member # 6667 posted                       Only water when the plants need it and do it in the morning preferably. Watering every day when the plants don't need it is not a good practice. * * * * John - Zone 6 Plants: 1068 | From: Connecticut | Registered: Aug 2005  |  Seeded: 209.178.236.58 n00bGardener Great Gardener Member # 8347 posted                       OK so it looks as if watering in the morning is best for the safety if the plants so Ill do it then. I only water if the soil is dry and it has been over the last few days since we've had awesome weather.. The next few days aren't looking too great according to the weather channel, but who knows about that..lol Plants: 91 | From: Fraser Valley, BC | Registered: Mar 2006  |  Seeded: 207.216.218.190
