Water, Water, Water Some More

Water, Water, Water!!! 

- Early morning hours are ideal.

- Water deeply and expansively by saturating large areas.

- Water infrequently to promote deeper root growth - every 2-4 days, depending on the level of maturity.

Refresh mulch and thin or bare areas to improve moisture retentioned and assisted weed prevention.

Raise mowing heights to reduce heat-related turf grass stress.

Avoid heavy pruning greater than 1/4 of the canopy. Lightly prune spent blooms for neatness and increased reblooming potential.

Keep up the pest patrol! Monitor shrubs, trees and turf grasses for warm-season insect activity.
