As you can see, watering trees less than 10 tall is very feasible. Larger trees with deeper roots should be able to scavenge deeper soil moisture and probably survive a droughty period without much winter injury. You may not want to, or be able to, apply all the water at one time. Periodic watering several days apart can also be done. More information on windbreaks, tree planting, and maintenance can be obtained from your county ISU Extension office.
Many people handle their money responsibly all year long and then overspend at holiday time.
Often that overspending becomes debt that needs to be paid off come January. Control holiday spending by making a written plan now. Think about how much you can afford to spend for gifts as well as decorations, holiday meals, and travel and then set a spending limit for each. Consider gifts that reflect the personality of the giver and the receiver. Perhaps something you make with your special skills or something store-bought you choose to meet the needs or interests of the receiver.
