Common conclusions
If you typically live in a tropical region where the temperature gets hot and warm through the day, make sure you plan your gardening accordingly. While it is good to get sunlight, you may not want to expose yourself during the peak heat times of the day, typically from 11 AM to 4 PM, as this can lead to sunstroke. In fact, doing workouts and gardening can be detrimental to health. So, wrap up before noon.
Cold places, especially the northern latitudes, may not get so hot and warm as the equatorial and tropical regions. So, if you live in this part of the world, pick the afternoon hours for gardening simply because you get a chance to be in the warm sun. Also, the heat and light during the day can go a world of good for the plants, so this can be a great time to do gardening in the cold regions.
Well, if you're a healthy and fit person, time and temperature should not make a big difference to your schedule. You must see this as a form of workout where you flex your muscles by doing something that you love. In the process, you get to create something new and possibly even include it in your daily meals for a fresh taste. So, the time depends on your convenience, provided you are fit and have no medical conditions whatsoever.
Water is an important nutrient that our body needs as it consumes more than 70 percent of our body composition. However, most people tend to overlook this aspect, and this leads to complications. So, regardless of your location and time preferences, see gardening like a workout and make sure to drink lots of water before and after it. This is all the more important if you live in a hot place as dehydration can quickly lead to sunstrokes.
Setting up a garden can be a fun experience. However, understand that the plants that you want to grow have their own natural schedules. So, choose to plant them at the times when they grow the best. Some plants grow well throughout the year, but many grow only during spring and/or summer. Plan accordingly, and enjoy your garden.
While there is no limit on how much time you must spend in the garden, limit it to a few hours, depending on the time you have and your energy levels. Never push your physical boundaries by a whole lot.
At least an hour a day is required.
