Avoid getting leaves and stems wet as much as possible and avoid watering in a way that may splash soil onto your plants.
Consider using a soaker hose or drip tape. Water in the early part of the day. This allows leaves to dry faster. Wet leaves allow

fungus to grow and spread. Avoid working with plants when they are wet. Fungus can be spread more easily when leaves are 5.39.217.76. Q' [( P1 x0 B3 }+ O6 V; ^
