Watering's always in season (8)
I believe the answer is:
spraying
'watering's' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'always in season' is the wordplay.
'always' becomes 'ay'.
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'season' becomes 'spring' (spring is a kind of season**).
'ay' put into 'spring' is 'SPRAYING'.
(Another definition for spraying that I've seen is " Dispersing insecticide on crops, say".)
I've seen this clue in The Telegraph and The Guardian.
