Show Notes
Utahs March is breaking heat records, following a warm and dry winter. This trend is evident in long-term data, indicating a clear upward trend. The low snowpack in the Wasatch mountains poses a threat to water supplies for drinking and irrigation. While conservation is crucial, its important not to skimp on watering plants. Trees, shrubs, and gardens provide shade, reduce evaporation, and retain soil moisture. Early leafing plants like lilacs, apple trees, and sumac need deep watering. Lawns can be allowed to turn brown and dormant, as they will recover. As conditions continue to change, its essential to keep plants and yourself hydrated, and to pace outdoor activities to avoid overheating.
