Plants and Flowers

A wise gardener should know that watering should be infrequent but generous, about an inch once a week. You should avoid frequent shallow waterings, which only provoke roots to stay near the surface of the soil. When the plants are deeply rooted, they are persistent in a dry period.
And remember that the soil must dry between waterings.
The best time for watering the garden is early in the morning or in the evening. In the heat of the day, which is between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m., the sun and wind quickly evaporate significant quantity of water and prevent it from penetrating deep in the soil.
Sprinkling is best done also early in the morning so that leaves can dry off in the morning. Wet leaves during the night create the perfect environment for fungal diseases.
To improve soil’s ability to retain moisture, add organic substance, which will also benefits all soils.
When planting any plants - whether annuals, perennials, trees or shrubs - dig a hole, fill it with water so that moisture can be absorbed into the soil. Then place the plant into the moistened hole, cover the roots with soil and water again.
Once they’re in the ground, keep new plants watered once a week, unless they are rained adequately.
