The quality and quantity of gifts from these flora representatives that the gardener will receive largely depends on this procedure.

Many people are interested in the following in this regard: when is it better to water cucumbers and tomatoes - in the morning or in the evening?

The answer was given by the expert of the online publication Belnovosti, agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh .

Therefore, it is recommended to water either early in the morning or late in the evening.

But it is important not to delay the procedure until darkness falls.

If you water crops closer to night, you can “get” excess moisture and cracking of fruits due to the temperature difference at this time of day.

By the way. If the soil on your site is dry, you don’t need to immediately, at one time, fill it with a large amount of water.

Experienced gardeners know: watering should be moderate, but a little more each time.

Earlier we talked about whether it is necessary to loosen the soil of cucumbers in a greenhouse, because, as practice shows, every second summer resident makes a mistake in this matter.
