I try to let my garden dry out a little bit after rainy days before I let my drip system provide them more water and fert. I think a lot of us tend to over water. I think a little stress from drying the soil out helps some plants get get a boost and stronger with a drying out. The root system grows healthier buy spreading out looking for water.
Agreed. I had best beets ever in a very dry year for the entire summer, some of which approached softball size.
