We had a rainy spring, so you might think you don’t need to water your plants. Not so!
Hot, sunny, windy days can quickly dry out plants that are not established: including any plant you planted this year and ones you planted late last year.
Our recommendations are to water weekly and deeply all plants planted this year. If it becomes dry in July and August, you should water twice a week. When plants wilt, they could be too dry or too wet. Please investigate, use a trowel and feel the soil to make sure you are watering correctly.
Here’s a link to the UMass Amherst guidelines to watering.
Proper watering will help your plants grow strong and will be less vulnerable to insect and disease problems. Plants must be cared for in order to protect your investment and our guarantee.
