The Grass Isn't Dead, It's Just Sleeping

With another day of extremely hot temperatures, Wisconsin is creeping toward drought conditions. Don't forget to water plants early in the day so they have available water throughout the day.

Don't forget to water your plants and trees early in the morning so they will have available water throughout these hot sunny days.
