Watering in the sun ok?

Mum of stig, you had downpours? we are only just down the road from you and got nothing

I'm sure if you water under the foliage into the soil it's ok if the soil isn't too bare it shouldn't evaporate with a good soaking.

Also it's a full moon (ish, waning) now, which means the water in the table is closer to the surface of the soil apparently (I'm experimenting with moon phase planting!!)

As I said in a previous post on this subject.......Farmers water all day long with those huge sprinklers and they wouldn't do it if it harmed the plants, after all it's their livelihood.

If plants are so sensitive that putting cold water on them when they are hot causes shock, then this must make us think they have feelings. That would throw a spanner in the works where vegetarians are concerned.

S & M vegetarians - now that's a combination!
On second thoughts, why not?

I,ve watered my allotment two or three times a week for the last couple of months always about 2 o clock in the afternoon and everythig is growing well .
