I've been struggling with whether to water my garden after light rain. Like, if it rains only 0.2 inches in a day, should I skip my usual watering? I tend to get either monsoon rains or hot days reaching 100 degrees, but sometimes it just drizzles briefly. What's the deal—is it okay to skip watering when this happens?

Honestly, if the soil feels wet to the touch, just skip the watering. It doesn't have to be super scientific—just trust your instincts!
If your plants are established, they can usually survive on less frequent watering than you might think. Just make sure they’re settled in the ground first!
I've had the same weather issues lately! I usually check the soil with my finger; if it's sandy or crumbling about 2 inches down, I water. It really helps to get a moisture meter too, makes things easier!
Yeah, a moisture meter can be a game changer! It saves you from guessing and can help you avoid overwatering.
For sure! My plants really thrive with less watering once they're rooted well.
