Water, Water and More Water!

For many of us the hot summer days mark the beginning of irrigation season.  We seem to be in a bit of a dry, hot spell.  So it is time to water!  Most plants only need one inch of water a week, preferably in the early morning before the hot sun is out.  Remember not to drown your plants this summer, just keep the soil moist.  Too much water can be as bad as too little water.   Also, always water plants first, then the grass areas.  Grass is much easier and cheaper to replant if it dies.
