> Is that more common in water-restricted municipalities?

Where I live, watering outdoor plants is only allowed 3 days a week, and only before 9AM or after 6PM on those three days. That doesnt mean growing vegetables is specifically illegal, but it does mean starting seedlings requires breaking the law during the warmer months.

I wonder how that law is worded - could you for instance fill up several X gallon jugs (1, 5, 55 [~4L, ~19L and ~208L] - whatever you have/need) during those permitted used windows, and water the plants from that supply as needed?

I could see the time window applying to the actual act of watering the plants ("don't water during the hottest/brightest part of the day, to avoid wasting most of it to evaporation"), but the specific days seem to me like they're just for load balancing...

I believe some areas object to the use of rain barrels, so I wonder if this option would fall under the same or similar restrictions.
