Water at the Base of the Plant, even with the hose

Shannon, you can still use your hose and water at the base of the plant. That's what I do most of the time. I have watered from our rain barrels, but it take considerably more time than watering from the hose. It all depends on my motivation that day!

If you're doing square-foot gardening, water one square at a time. Drench the square and then move on to the next.

Water in the morning. If you forget, then water before dinner. If you water mid-day, you'll lose most of the water to evaporation during the afternoon heat.

You do not want to water regularly after dinner because you could end up with mold. I don't know how often this happens in Georgia, but it's a possibility.
