• A garden needs one inch of rain of water each week. Early morning is the best time to water. Evening watering is less desirable because leaves that remain wet through the night are more susceptible to fungal diseases. Mulch plants to reduce water loss and improve yields.

• Implement all the best cultural practices to reduce pest problems, but be prepared to spray as needed to control insects and diseases. Some pest control usually is necessary to insure the production of healthful, highquality vegetables.
