Watering flowers and plants?

My husband will not allow me to water plants and flowers in the yard or on the porch during the day. Says it is not good for flowers and plants until dusk or dawn. I ask him......... what about when it rains during the day? Is that not good either? What about people watering their lawns during the day? They have lawns that look good and green! Please someone help!

In hot dry areas, you can water any time you wish because the nights are as hot as the days. But if you live in a cooler climate, it is best to water early in the mornings. This will give your plants time to dry out before night time. Wet leaves at night can sometimes cause plant diseases.





Watering in the middle of a very hot day will cause water evaporation.
Reply:I do it in the morning or during the day.
Reply:I think just the opposite is true. Early in the morning.





Additional information;


Apply water in the cool of the morning or evening when the wind is calm and water loss through evaporation is minimal.





Avoid watering disease-susceptible plants at night. If water sits on plant foliage for hours, it can encourage fungal diseases to attack leaves, buds, flowers, and fruit. Plants susceptible to leaf spots, fruit rots, and flower blights are best watered in the morning, when the warming sun will quickly dry the leaves and discourage fungus development.





I can not remember which plants are susceptible so I like to water in the morning.
Reply:the best time is early in the morning.


definitely not in the middle of the day.


you also should not use those sprinklers that throw the water in the air. it wastes water and does not water the plants properly. usually that kind is best for watering the pavement!!!Shoes
