Morning watering is best for things that are prone to fungus and other diseases. It's best if you don't get water on leaves on things like roses and tomatoes. Evening watering is best for water conservation...less evaporation. Whenever you have more time is the real issue! ![[thumb]](im/graemlins/thumb.gif)

I've heard that evening watering makes plants more susceptible to disease. (Maybe one of the "experts" will pop in & let us know why that is.) ![[dunno]](im/graemlins/dunno.gif)
I do mine in the evening anyway, because I don't usually get outside early enough to water before the Sun is beating on everything!

Only water when the plants need it and do it in the morning preferably. Watering every day when the plants don't need it is not a good practice.

OK so it looks as if watering in the morning is best for the safety if the plants so Ill do it then. I only water if the soil is dry and it has been over the last few days since we've had awesome weather.. The next few days aren't looking too great according to the weather channel, but who knows about that..lol
