How often should you water the garden plants?

Is it true that you should water your garden plants every night for one hour,and never to water them on a sunny day?

The best idea is to make sure that your garden doesn't NEED watering!
Dig in plenty of organic material to increase the ability of the soil to retain water and get it to the plant roots.
If the ground gets baked hard it isn't worth watering it as the water will not get to the roots - in that case you need to get a fork & lightly move the soil to open it up a bit.
When you DO have to water (vegetables & annuals are really the things that may need attention), lightly water first then go back & give a bit more water 20 minutes later. The first watering breaks the surface tension without there being too much water which will just run away.
Best time to water is very early morning or early night (after the sun is down) although SOME plants hate having wet roots overnight when they aren't really making use of the water.
And of course - the length of time you take to water you garden depends on the size of the garden and the method you are using - if you are dragging watering cans around in a big garden it would take you a lot longer than with a sprinker in a small garden!
IF your plants NEED the water then you should water them - whatever time of day it is - but watering in bright sunlight makes less water available to the plants as it will be being drawn up as by the heat of the day and unless you can water at root level you run the risk of leaving water on leaves which could well bake them!
