Rain is a watering
Rain is a watering. What is in front of you is a bed after a real rain.
Do it in order
Handle it this way: skip the hose and look at the soil the next day. Wash the tool when you move to the next plant.
The usual miss
People lose cuttings and seedlings to watering on top of a soaked bed because it is Tuesday. Slow down there.
Finished means you know whether the rain was enough. If you are guessing, water less than you want to and look again tomorrow.
This sits in "Soil and water", written as a garden note rather than a catalog.
A garden note, not a promise that a plant will thrive. Look again in a week.
