been a while since ive posted, hope everyone is doing well.  i have a
question about dew.  whenever its humid out, my leaves are dry in the
morning.........when its dry out, my leaves are wet in the morning.  anyone
know why?

When the air is moist it stays warm at night above the dewpoint.  Dry air
doesn't hold heat and it cools rapidly at night down to the dewpoint.  Cool
nights with dew bring Downy Mildew.
