Extreme Heat Early This Year!

They say the extreme heat came a lot earlier than anticipated this year. You’re not theonly one feeling the effects of the extreme heat. Your plants and landscaping are justas susceptible to extreme heat. Experts say with temperatures at or above 100degrees, you should water your plants thoroughly once a day. And as always, waterearly in the morning to minimize fungal diseases, try to avoid watering plant leaves forthe same reason, and verify the amount of water you're delivering to plants.

The simplest, albeit low-tech way of doing that is by setting cups out on the lawn or in garden beds. Ideally, you should provide about an inch of water to the lawn and gardens each time you water.
