We’ve haven’t gotten precipitation since last November (2025) when we got 2 storms that produced 1 inch total at the property for the whole month. In December, we got no inches precipitation-well, maybe a trace, but really nothing. Looks like it’s going to be a dry winter.

Today is a good time to water your perennial plants if you haven’t already as it is going to be in the low 50’s today. Then the highs will be in the 40’s for tomorrow, Mon Jan 5 – Thursday, Jan 9th. On Friday, Jan 10, the high will be in the 30s making watering more challenging (frozen hoses-be sure to empty them) which is why I always water when it is above freezing and I always empty out my hose after each watering in winter.

So you’ll know what I’m doing today…
