WHAT TO EXPECT+
In March we’ve optimized water delivery systems in advance of heavy rains. We will continue to do so while also monitoring foliage growth, understanding that despite recent rains, we can expect a very dry year.
Conserving Water and Soil Moisture:
- Identifying and fixing irrigation leaks
- Replenishing mulch to conserve water and increase organic matter Increasing mower heights to reduce evaporation from lawns
- Changing batteries on irrigation timers
- Pushing the clocks forward on irrigation and lighting timers
- Pruning Mediterranean foliage
Prepping for a Beautiful Year:
- Identifying cut flowers to brighten indoor spaces
- Planning spring edible planting to meet your meal interests
- Exchanging wet for dry loving plants
