[QUOTE="LittleDudesMom, post: 285602, member: 805"] I'll tell you what I do which is contrary to what the experts say. First, I don't worry about my grass. The lawn is lovely in the spring and into the early summer but by late July it begins to dry out. I don't want the expense of the water so I just let it do it's own thing! Now I do have alot of plants in pots and several perinial gardens with annuals thrown in. I water one day in the early morning before it gets hot and then the next day I water in the evening before the sun goes down. That way it 's every day but almost like every other. You are not supposed to water in the evening (at least that's what the local experts say) because of the chance of mildew but I've never had a problem and my plants thrive like crazy. Never heard about tomato plants not liking their leaves wet. My plants are in the very back of the yard and are too far for the hose to reach. I put the power sprayer on the nozzle and stand about 20/30 feet back and water the plants like it's raining. They seem to be doing fine and I already have many that have turned yellow/orange. What is the reason for keeping the leaves dry? Sharon [/QUOTE]
