I remember reading in the Old Farmers Almanac that weeding is best done on dark nights, claimed that some seeds in the soil are stimulated when exposed to light, weeding in daytime causes more weeds to sprout than weeding in the dark. Never researched to see if backed by studies though.

It's true and just makes sense when you touch plants enough. When it's hot everything's squeezed up and when it's cooling off it's letting go. Like breathing vs out. Idk how much of a difference the night being dark makes lol

E: I apparently glazed over the bit about seed stimulation there, but night time is the right time for sure

yeah but it was considered ungentelmanely way back when. so it was important when doing it that you don't get caught if you wanted to maintain the appearance of being a gentleman.
