A quick note on watering, do not forget to water those plant you installed this fall. Although, a plant’s water needs are lower now they still need some care in order to succeed. Most established plants are fine with the natural rainfall. However, if we enter a prolonged period with no rain you should give your plant(s) a deep watering, trying to apply about ¼ - ½ inch of water when irrigating. I have set an arbitrary period of 7-10 days because it is easy to remember. Remember, the need for water will vary from plant to plant and owners need to establish a watering regime that works for everyone. |
