Reminder to WATER plants and your lawn even in winter...

Might come as no big news to many who have lived in Colorado Springs for a long time but News 13 did a snippet of a story tonite on winter watering. Especially because it has been so dry this winter with some warm windy days and not much snow, plants need some TLC during the winter to green back up when Spring gets here.

They recommended watering established lawns every 4 weeks when its a low-snow winter like we've had so far. My husband dragged out the hose and sprinklers to put some water on our lawn last weekend when it was warm. We also water all our trees, especially the pine trees every couple of weeks during the winter after losing a few our first 2 years in our house. We water more often when its warm and windy because the evergreens can really dry out without some help.

So just a little tidbit to pass along.....think SPRING!!!!!
