Landscape watering

Wipe the sweat off your brow and plan to be into the 100-somethings for the
next 3-4 months. Though average temperatures are slightly lower in June
than July, water demand by plants can be at its highest this month due to
the low humidity levels, which will increase when the monsoons arrive.
These recommendations are for plants that are established in the landscape
(in the ground about 2 years).
