Daylight saving time is that annual event that mildly disorients our collective understanding of what time the sun should set for a few weeks. While there is an ongoing association of farmers and daylight saving time, leaving many to assume there's natural benefits associated with plant care, many farmers actually resisted the practice when it was introduced. And while it has a lot of impacts on your gardening schedule — some that are pretty obvious — they aren't all positive. The most blatant impact daylight saving time has on gardening is the extra hour of sunlight it provides in the evening. During daylight saving time, the sun will rise an hour later, which means morning chores can be hindered by the lack of light.
