Creating Watering Schedules for Winter Gardening
Choose a warm day with air temperature above 40 degrees Fahrenheit. Ensure that the soil is unfrozen. Try watering at mid-day — when temperatures are higher—so it can soak in before it freezes at night. Water your landscape once or twice per month from November to April.
Simply so, do you still need to water plants in winter?
Generally speaking, plants use more more water in the warmer summer months and less in the cooler winter months. They will also use more in hot, sunny and windy weather.
Accordingly, when should I start watering my plants after winter? Trees need water before their leaf out date. Depending on where you live, that date could fall anywhere from mid-March to early May. Supplemental watering is needed only if the weather has been exceptionally dry. If the soil feels moist four to six inches deep, either from recent rains or snowmelt, you should be OK.
