Watering is one of the most important skills in gardening, and many beginners struggle with either over-watering or underwatering. Most vegetables prefer deep, infrequent watering that reaches root depth rather than shallow daily sprinkles.
Aim to water early in the morning or late in the evening to reduce evaporation. If you’re using raised beds, be aware that they dry out faster than in-ground plots — checking soil moisture with your finger is a simple and effective method.
Consistent watering leads to healthier, more flavorful harvests.
