Since this winter has been so dry and windy, we still want to be keeping our plants watered. Even in winter, watering is important while the ground is not frozen. When the soil is unfrozen, plant roots are still able to absorb moisture. This is especially helpful during dry Montana winters with little snow cover. ![]()

My dad quit his job as a radio DJ and took a new job as a railway construction worker. I guess he just couldn't give up his love for laying tracks.
