I'm gardening in zone 6a and loving it, but I'm dealing with a lot of mosquitoes! I prefer to water my plants in the evening to avoid disturbing pollinators in the morning. Is there any way to reduce mosquito presence without using repellents?

One option to consider is using mosquito netting around your garden. It can be a hassle, and mosquitoes might still find a way through, but it could help a bit. If you're really worried about pollinators, you could also think about watering in the morning, although that might not be what you prefer!
I get that! I was kind of hoping for some magical solution too, like a special plant or fertilizer that would keep them away!
