Water deeply, less often!
Here's a common gardening mistake: frequent shallow watering. While it might seem intuitive to give your plants a little sprinkle every day, this actually encourages roots to grow close to the surface. When hot weather hits, these shallow roots dry out quickly, leaving your plants stressed.

Instead, try deep watering once or twice a week. The goal is to soak the soil to a depth of 6-8 inches, encouraging roots to grow deeper and access more moisture reserves. A good way to check if your plants need watering is to stick your finger into the soil. If the top inch or two feels dry, it's time to water.

Here are some bonus benefits of deep watering:

Stronger plants: Deeper roots lead to stronger, more resilient plants.
Reduced weed growth: Deep watering encourages deeper root growth, which helps crowd out weeds that rely on shallow moisture.
Less water waste: Less frequent watering means less water used overall!
