There’s a steep ‘learning curve’ when it comes to gardening, so it’s good to follow the advice of those that have plowed that row before you! :)

Today my friend dropped by and gave me some watering tips.

Don't use the hose directly on the plants.
Put water in 5 gal buckets and let come up to air temperature.
He showed me the size cup to use to bail the water out of the 5 gal buckets, for each planting.
Keep water off of leafy plants just pour into the roots.
Give twice as much water to cucumbers.
Don't pour waters directly on radish seeds ,pour into hand to sprinkle over radish seed bed. Give radish seeds some extra water, in this warm weather -Tom

Your friend knows his stuff! Listen to him/her. ;)

As for me and my garden?

STOP RAINING! UNCLE! ENOUGH! I GIVE! LOL! :)
