If you are using watering cans to water your plants, fill them up a few hours earlier so the water can come to the outdoor ambient temperature. Using too hot or too cold water can shock the plants and their root systems. Better yet, after you’re finished watering, fill up your cans so they’re ready to go the next time you water.
