Watering Guide

Containers dry out way faster than garden beds - that's the number one thing new container gardeners don't expect. In the heat of summer, you may need to water daily or even twice a day for smaller pots. The best way to check: stick your finger an inch into the soil. If it's dry, water thoroughly until it runs out the drainage holes. Morning watering is ideal because it gives leaves time to dry before evening, which helps prevent disease. Consider self-watering containers or adding a drip irrigation system if you're growing more than a few pots - it's a game-changer for consistency.
