watering is one of the biggest simple mistakes the most new gardeners make…
And sometimes this will cause your fruit from rotting turning yellow or falling off..
When watering in the morning time you have to be careful. do not water over the plant, especially over the flowers. if you wet the pollen the bees were not able to pollinate from male to female flowers which will cause the fruit to not grow…
Very important to water the Root all the way to the ground of the plant do not water the leaves water the roots of the soil. that’s where the plant will observe the water and you will not destroy any flowers or pollination…

do not water over your plant especially in the morning time you see your flowers are open right there and they’re going to have female and you have the male filled with pollen you do not want to wash away the pollen if you wash away the pollen your fruit will end up rotten fall out and something you’re going to blame fertilizer or temperature or stress or any kind of other stuff but a simple stuff like this just water the bottom of the soil right here in the morning time you could always remove a couple leaves to get a better uh ear flow and water easily but do not water the flower or else you will lose the fruit doesn’t matter if it’s uh tomatoes peppers squash zucchini pumpkin watermelon do not water the flower

Thank you for your good advice 🙏
Wow. Thank you
Thank you! I’m going through what problem you spoke of with my blooms right now!! 🤗
Good information. I have a lot of buds waiting for flowers. Was watering bottom up. It's raining a lot, will that affect the pollen?
Great Advice 💯
True!
Great point
And what about mother nature when it rains in the morning?
rain doesnt care
Should we cover the garden to protect the flowers from rain?
Wow! Thank you for this info. I think you just solved a problem for me. Last year I was watering with the overhead sprinkler. I hardly got any squash or zucchini. I never had that problem that people always joke about. The one where they have so much zucchinis they can't give it away. Also I didn't get any good germination on my melon either. This could possibly be the reason for that. Thank you again. I am installing drip irrigation this season. Hopefully that will solve my problems with the zucchini and melon.
I made that mistake i lost 4 fruits 😢
Thanks for this reminder!!! I just ordered some of the NeemMax from your Amazon storefront page; really hope it can drive away some of these LF Nymphs; and save it from powdery mildew
Good tip. Thank you for sharing!! 💚
What if it rains?
Thank you!!😊
so say it rains. what you do?
What are you talking about? If it’s rain what happens then makes no sense.
What are you people come over with this stuff? People been farming for years and they don’t do that.
Where are you? People come up with this stuff it rains nobody go out there. Stop the rain from hidden flowers on the plant. People been farming for years not doing that didn’t do that.
