From the Brandenton Herald comes this tale of gardening woe:As we enter the hot, dry months of spring, soils are already way too parched. Now is the time we think about drought-tolerant landscapes, or at least the one we were going to install last year.
With "drought tolerance," spiny cactus plants and succulents often come to mind. Actually, though, we need to look deeper - at the type of soil under our feet. Soil is not the same throughout Manatee County, between neighborhoods, and sometimes even across streets.
Yes, it's all about the dirt. And the rains. Together.
