Morning Watering Recommended for Gardens During Summer Heat
Experts emphasize the importance of watering gardens in the morning during the summer months to maximize water absorption and minimize evaporation. Morning watering, ideally between 6 a.m. and 9 a.m., allows plants to absorb moisture before the day’s heat intensifies. This practice also helps prevent mildew and other diseases caused by wet foliage overnight. Container plants, which dry out faster than in-ground gardens, may require more frequent watering, sometimes twice daily during peak summer heat. Larger containers are recommended for better water retention.
