Mother Nature promising badly needed rain for gardens in southern Colorado

Over the past week, I've been watering Steve's Garden constantly.

When the air stays so dry, you need to check the soil around your plants to make sure there is some moisture to keep them healthy.

Next week, though, we could see a big swing in the weather. There is a good chance Colorado could tap into more consistent rain, as monsoonal moisture could begin moving into our state.

That moisture helps the wildfires and takes some strain off of gardeners like you and me.
