====== Trees ======

[[http://landscaping.about.com/cs/landscapecolor/f/protect_trees.htm|Watering Trees FAQ]] suggests that you should stop watering trees in the fall until all the leaves fall.  Once that occurs, give your conifer trees a good deep watering before the winter.  Any time it warms up unexpectedly in winter for a long period, it is OK to give them a drink then too as they don't shut down like deciduous trees.  You just don't want them to have any growth that is un-hardy enough for winter by watering them too close to winter.
