    is it best to water your vegetables in the early morning or evening, according to your experience?

    Spruce, remember that you live in wet country :heehee:. miraflores lives much nearer Shineyland therefore could be having drought conditions :D

    Watering in the evening is better but watering evening and late morning is best. :dbgrtmb:
