The best vacations are a result of proper planning, from making reservations to arranging transportation and packing. But don’t forget the garden! Watering is the main concern while out of town, but there are other things to consider—including weeds getting out of control, damage from summer heat, and crops becoming overripe and rotting.
You could avoid all of that by planning a winter ski vacation and staying home during summer. But if that’s not the case for you, the first step is to water well. In cooler climates, with proper application of mulch, a deep watering can last a week to 10 days for hardy landscape plants.
