If you’re heading out of town for the holiday weekend, be sure to water well before you take off.

Here in the metro, we haven’t had a good soaking rain, for a couple of weeks, so the soil is pretty dry. And it looks like it’s going to be fairly hot and windy this weekend, which can really dry plants out quick-like.

So take the time to water now or or ask one of your neighbors to water for you.

And don’t forget those containers. In addition to watering them and mulching them, you may want move them to a shady spot until you get back in town.

I’ll be here all weekend, so if you need me to water for you, just gimme a holler!
