Not quite this dry, yet?
All your new plantings need, on average, an inch of water a week.
Trees and shrubs that have been established are tougher with deeper roots able to stretch down and get a drink from further below. Plants less than 3-years old need our help.
With these cool temps and not much rain, our peppers won’t set fruit either. It’s going to be a slower year for crops. Drip irrigation is by far the best bet to our plants and the environment. The water gets right to where it needs to go, no loss to the atmosphere and fungal diseases aren’t spread by splashing of water on leaves.
