Dawn Watering for a Great Garden

Plants on bicycle trellis: wilted in the afternoon, fresh in the morning

During this heat, read your garden to learn what's best for plants.

Afternoon drooping is plants' natural heat defense, not necessarily an indication that they need water. Wilted plants in the "morning" tell you "that's" watering time. Early watering augments morning dew and works best with plants' natural water uptake cycles; you're applying water they need instead of overwatering them to death.

Running sprinklers midday wastes your water, time and money since most of that water evaporates almost instantly with heat and wind. In fact, that's why the City, County and State all prohibit overhead watering midday.

Night watering invites root rot and fungal growth, plus it attracts unwanted pests like gnats, slugs and snails.

Water at dawn for maximum plant benefit, lowest pest and disease risk and minimum waste.
