She has wattered her flower garden just two times this summer
Dammiano says
That an extreme heat
And when that heat is dry soil
Moisture evaporates quickly plants will turn to their own limited moisture storage
When they need water
This requires them to use energy toward cooling and using water
This energy should be spent on growth flowering
Fruding and reproducing the stress often completely weakens the plant
When plants are native to in area
They naturally develop deep large roote systems
These systems permit the plants to reach distant sources of moisture
When the nearby area dries out many foreign plants
Including most plants that live for just one year have root systems that are not deep
This means they must depend on the top few centimeters of soil for all of their water needs
