Hi Mercedes. I would adjust the sprinkler system. Every other day might be fine for your area during the hot summers, but is probably over doing it during the winter. I’m not very familiar with your weather, but I would guess that watering the garden once or twice a week would be adequate. Keep an eye on your plants, they’ll let you know if they’re not getting enough moisture. The time that you water isn’t critical but I would water around sunrise.

hi, I am not sure if you take questions but i found your blog very educational. I just moved to Houston from the Caribbean and find myself caring for my first garden. AsI learn to take care of it my biggest concern right now is the fact that there are automatic sprinklers in the garden. They go off every other day at 2am. Should i change these during winter, how often and around what time should they water. The temperature here is about 50′s and it usually doesn’t get lower that 30′s.I would greatly appreciate some guidance. thank you
