It is best to water your plants deeply, rather than a little bit at a time. If you water too frequently, the plants will not develop a deep roots. Watering at night can cause disease problems since the plants stay damp longer. Do not water in the heat of the day, because a large part of the water just evaporates. Water in the early morning, or in the early evening, when it is cooler and there is less direct sun. Click here (http://www.gardeners.com/Watering-Tips/default/8108.page)for more information.
