Garden tips emphasize smart watering and native plants in desert yards
Garden advisor Adams urges watering at branch tips ground level and morning to avoid disease in cool evenings. She recommends timers, split schedules for large yards, and native plants like blue gramma and buffalo grass to reduce water use. She cautions some native species such as cottonwoods and pinons struggle with West Mesa drought, and promotes Kentucky-31 fescue as a lawn option. Adams highlights flowers as color and texture, encouraging garden views from inside homes. The San doval County Extension offers a ten week gardening class starting January to raise funds for 4 H, with free pamphlets available.
