water water water....water water water

18 days without any good rain. You'll notice some trees starting to change now. That's a definite sign of dry soil. Plants are starting to shut down. You may notice early fall color, Hydrangeas browning up, flowers getting ugly. Water is VERY important RIGHT NOW. Not only is the water they get now important right now, it's the water the root systems will need over the winter to keep the plants alive. Without good water now and through winter plants may not survive to see spring.

That being said this is also the best time to be adding to your landscape. Soil temps are perfect. Cool nights and warm days mean the plants will take hold and come spring look awesome.

It's a little early for major pruning but it's certainly time to start cutting back some of the perennials and cleaning beds up.
