When watering, especially during drought, water deeply and infrequently and water early in the morning whenever possible. Be sure your beds are mulched with 3 inches of hardwood mulch and in your vegetable garden, use straw, compost, leaves and you can even use hardwood mulch there as well. Be sure to water around your foundation on clay soils. See our links page for suggestions on native and adapted plants as well as EarthKind rose.
