What's going on everyone? Kevin here from Epic Gardening. Again, we are joined by the incredible

Joe Lample, the Joe behind Joe Gardner.com. Joe has got a lot going on. He's the creator of growing a greener world on PBS, which is nationally syndicated. It's an organic gardening show. And if you're looking for a fundamental gardening course, well then look no further than his course.

It's called beginner gardening fundamentals.

Link will be in the podcast description for that.

And today and this week we've been going over just that gardening fundamentals and I think there perhaps might not be any more fundamental issue that people struggle with in the garden than watering.

I know certainly in the indoor garden I get tons of questions on house

plant watering issues and also in the outdoor garden Joe so I'm sure this is

something you're intimately familiar with both in your own garden and probably in the

questions that you get so I thought maybe we could start by perhaps dispelling a

myth or two about gardening and watering.

Are there any that sort of come to mind for you?

There's one that I'm thinking of right off the bat,

and that is, you know, we tend to love our plants to death,

and typically the way they die is we overwater them.

So the myth may be that you need to water your plants, you know, sufficiently, but more

plants die of overwatering.

So you're actually needing to water them less.

Is there a myth?

What myth are you thinking of that I'm missing?

Is there one? You know, I think maybe there's certain misunderstandings perhaps about time of day of watering, like the best time of day.

Oh, yeah. I know for of day of watering, like the best time of day.

I know for me I tend to try to water in the early morning if possible and then my second best time would be sort of right as the sun starts to set as long as I'm not top watering
