Water, water everywhere
Water, water everywhere, and not a drop from the sky. This fall your most important tool is your hose. 1. Water anything that you want to keep. I will be watering my apple trees, my cherry tree, my grapevine, and my perennials. I am also watering sections of the lawn. Trees need to be watered slowly and deeply, meaning set the hose so the water drips out and let it sit there for an hour. 2. Water multiple times. And keep watering until the ground freezes. This is especially true for new trees. Let's hope we get a wet spell before we get snow!
