Plants, shrubs, trees, and lawns all need water if there has not been rain or snow as they become dehydrated. Dehydrated plants are weak and susceptible to disease and insect damage.
It works best to water your plants on a nice warm day with temperatures in the 40 to 50 degrees.
Do not water plants if the soil is frozen.
I flooded the plants with water but not so much water that they were left with soggy roots.

Winter is not over yet. We are sure to get a few more icy or snowy days but at least my plants got a good drink of water.
Be sure to keep an eye on your plants for any dry spells in the weather and water them if needed. Don’t let them dry out.
I hope you enjoyed this winter gardening tip.
