Please make sure with the lack of cold and water that you help your yard, whether it is your lawn, newly planted trees or shrubs or those perennials you have for a xeric landscape and water them.
Even though it is winter, make sure that you are deep soaking your beloved trees, perennials and shrubs every 2-3 weeks. It will help them come out in the spring with less stress and help with future growth. Your lawn will appreciate it greatly and so will those dreaded dog spots that normally are taken care of by the snow we typically have. Just make sure you protect your hose bib (the faucet outside) when you are done.
