Getting Busy with Planting and Watering
Spring is in full swing, and there’s no better time to roll up your sleeves and get busy with planting and watering! Whether you’re refreshing your flower beds, starting a veggie patch, or simply adding some life to your yard, the right approach to planting and hydration makes all the difference.
Start by choosing the right plants for your region and soil type. In Lubbock and the surrounding areas, hardy, drought-tolerant plants tend to thrive, but that doesn’t mean you have to skip out on colorful blooms or leafy greens. Just make sure to prep your soil—add compost, loosen compacted areas, and create space for roots to spread.
When it comes to watering, timing is everything. Early mornings or late evenings are best to avoid evaporation and sun scorch. New plants need consistent moisture to establish strong roots, but be careful not to overwater—too much love can lead to root rot and fungus. A simple rule? Stick your finger in the soil—if it’s dry an inch down, it’s time to water.
Mulching around your plants can help lock in moisture, reduce weeds, and keep your garden beds looking clean and tidy. As your plants take root and grow, keep an eye on their progress, adjust watering schedules as needed, and enjoy the transformation of your space.
