Water again od

We have had some beautiful days so far this year.
The sun has warmed us up and helped every-
thing to grow so beautifully.. There is only one |
problem with beautiful summers like this one, |
and that’ is keeping everything watered. When:
the weather is hot and dry it takes a lot of wa-
ter to keep plants and grass looking their best.
It becomes difficult: to keep up. Most often we |”
have to make sacrifices, water our favorites and |’
leave the rest to survive on their own. Unless
you have an automatic irrigation system it’s next’
to impossible to keep your entire yard growing
‘at its optimum performance.
