Last winter taught us

all a good lesson abouthow important winter

watering is. We hadvirtually no precipita-tion between Januaryand April and manygardeners had tremen-dous losses of youngertrees and shrubs. Almosteveryone had damage toturf grass. Mites thrive on

sunny slopes and on thesunny sides of trees andbuildings. When we haveno moisture, the mitesthrive. Rain washes themaway! Try to water at leastonce a month especiallyon younger trees andshrubs. Water turf grassonce or twice a month,especially in sunnydrought-prone areas.
