Mulch and early evening watering can solve any drought problems we might have. Rain is usually never too far away. The best part of this kind of climate is the wide range of plants we can grow. Winters, although snowy, are protective of plant roots. That frequent, blanket of white acts as insulation, keeping ground temperatures from going too far below freezing and keeping plants from heaving and thawing out of the ground.
Less winter die back and lusher plants when spring does arrives.
