Watering is the number one
reason why plants struggle, and then die.
We have reached the time of the year when you should be watering
regularly; and there may come a time when your edible gardens and containers will
need daily watering.
Counting on rain showers is
risky in the high desert. We have experienced
days of wet weather when sun was predicted and dry hot winds when there was a
strong change of rain. I have also noted
differences between weather reports making this topic even more challenging.
In this photo I am giving the area of my lawn
that has dried out from the daily dry winds a short soaking. I will do this once a week as needed.
Here are a few suggestions to help with proper watering.
● Keep
plants healthy with organic nutrients (more to follow on this)
●
Watch the weather and be ready to cover for the cold or the heat
●
Check irrigation system and emitters regularly
●
Water as needed, even if you have to drag a hose out
●
Plant in the correct sun light for the plants needs
