lack of rain this year seems to have held everthing back
Does muggy weather harm or hurt a garden be it flower or vegatable.?
Yes, it can. You will have insects in abundance-especially slugs. Also warm, muggy weather causes mold and other plant diseases.
Reply:Yes and No.
If you're not providing additional water, then yes, the lack of rain could be considered to be "harming" your garden.
Since you have a hose attached to a spigot that dispenses water, then no, the lack of rain could not be considered to be "harming" your garden.
If you are referring to the slowed evaporation of water on the plant due to high humidity, then yes, this can lead to various plant diseases.
Reply:Not directly, But fungi and other disease thrive in muggy humid weather. Lawns, if you think of them as gardens, are especially vulnerable. To help reduce the increased risk of fungus, mold and other disease problems in the yard and garden, it is best to water in the early morning. (Watering at night vastly increases the risk of disease to affect the garden).
