Watering in the heat of the day in Texas is not a good idea. The water evaporates faster than the poor plants can drink it up. That leave the choice of watering in the morning or watering at night. Since I started the garden, I have been regularly been watering every morning. Then, out of curiosity, I switched and started watering at night.
I honestly expected no difference in the health of my plants. Yet...they seem to be able to stand the heat of day better when I water at night. There is less wilting by the end of the day, especially in the broader leafed plants.
That said, if I learned nothing else with my master's degree, it is that correlation does not imply causation! So, I will keep my eye on this.
