WELL TENDED GARDENS ARE BEST

       There are only two rules for watering the garden correctly: water at the proper time and water deeply.

Too many gardeners, especially beginners, feel they must water a garden.  But you should water your plants only when they really need it.  How do you tell?  Look at your plants in the morning.  If they are wilted, it's a sure sign that the soil has very little moisture left to provide the plants.  IT'S TIME TO WATER!

Plants often look fine in the morning but start to droop in the afternoon when it gets hot.  Drooping plants mean they are loosing more water than they are absorbing.  Don''t rush to the water hose if you see this.  Hold off for a while.  Plants usually recover in the evening and overnight when the sun goes down and moisture goes up in the soil.  but is your plants are wilted in the morning, GET BUSY AND WATER THEM!

HAPPY GARDENING!
