10 Day Weather Forecast

The weather.com 10 day forecast is looking great...if you like hot, dry weather. The chance for some much needed rain for the greater Houston area looks nonexistent right now.

That being said, be sure all new plantings...especially 4" color...is getting plenty of irrigation.

Thanks again.
