Watering Your Garden: Timing is Everything

Watering your garden is crucial for its health and growth, but timing is everything.

Plants have unique watering needs, and understanding these needs is key to effective watering.

The Royal Horticultural Society recommends watering your garden in the early morning hours.

Morning watering allows plants to absorb water throughout the day, reducing the risk of pest infestations.

Evening watering can attract pests like slugs and other nocturnal pests.

Climate and weather conditions greatly impact the optimal watering time for your garden.

Container and hanging basket plants require more precise watering due to their unique soil and exposure.

Monitor soil moisture levels to determine the best time to water your plants.

Wilting or a change in leaf position can be signs that your plants need water.

Water deeply and adjust your schedule according to the climate and weather conditions in your area.
