Switching to morning watering saved my rooftop lettuce

I used to water in the evening after work, but my lettuce kept getting moldy. Started doing it early in the morning, and the leaves dry out faster, no more rot. It's such a simple fix but made all the difference. How do you time your watering in urban setups?

Evening lets the water soak in deeper without sun evaporation.

Ever see how my friend's garden got way better, @barbaramurphy?

But is watering at night really that big a deal for most gardens? I mean, unless you're growing something super fussy, the timing might not change much... My cousin waters his plants in the morning and they still look fine. It probably depends more on how much water you give them, not just when.
