To determine how much and how frequently you need to water consider a few things. First what kind of plants are you watering? Do they have deep roots with big root systems Does your garden have a lot of succulents that store moisture in their leaves? Or are you growing shallow rooted annuals? It makes sense that deep rooted plants and succulents do better with less frequent watering while some annuals need water more often. Your soil also has a bearing on when you water. Sandy soil gives up moisture quickly. In that case you may need to water more frequently. Plants growing in heavy soil or soil with high organic material content will hold moisture better and need less frequent watering. The climate and weather also play a part in your watering schedule. If it's been as dry season then you know you need to water more often. In general you want to water deeply and less frequently. If you're not sure how far moisture has penetrated into your soil a good method is to turn over a shovelful of earth and look. As for when the best time is to water your plants the answer is pretty straight forward: morning. An early morning watering sets the plant up to deal with the stress in the heat of the day provides water for growth and moving nutrients around.
