Watering

Yahhhhhh - water!!!!!

As I have told my husband, 90% of gardening is water. I water everyday and I do it by hand so that I can keep an eye on the progress of everything daily and make a plan each weekend to attend to certain needs. Of course this is what I love about gardening; there is always something to do. However, whereas too little water is detrimental especially in our climate, it can be just as detrimental with too much watering. Ensure you are aware of what all of your plants and/or trees' requirements are. For instance, the Neem tree only gets water once a week, whereas my roses get some everyday.

Another thing I have found is that when buying various smaller palnts and flowers from businesses a lot of the time they have these items under cover or inside. When putting them outside for the first time, ensure they get plenty of water. They may appear to die off, but keep at it, they will come back in, adjusted to the new light and sun, strength fully adapted and lush.

So make sure your garden and you get just the right of water everyday!
