In zone 4 we are experiencing an unusually dry end to the winter season, and with spring just around the corner, the lack of precipitation in the rocky mountain region has everyone concerned. While areas at higher elevations appear to have adequate snow fall, the plains are suffering with drought like conditions. If these weather patterns persist it will lead to high fire danger and water restrictions for the summer months ahead. During these types of weather phases it is crucial to select drought tolerant plant varieties when you are planning for your next gardening season. Cheers
