If you turned your irrigation on during the recent "dry" spell, be sure to turn the controller off.

Be sure to check the moisture of you soil before you turn your irrigation back on. With the lower night time, and even daytime, temperatures most landscapes will be able to go a week or two without watering. However, do check your container plants as those can dry out quicker.
