The Garden Gal. December 19, 2011 — Debbie Cook, the Garden Gal, a master gardener and certified arborist tells us that now is a good time to water our evergreens. The lack of water, combined with a bit of thawing that is scheduled to happen this week, means that they need a little help from us in order to be beautiful in the spring. Also, be sure to call your extension office first when considering getting your trees pruned.
