Thank you
@KentPfeiffer.
Knowing the "why" of something helps. We get no summer rain, but I am going to have to wash the roses to avoid spider mite infestations and I do want that water to be available to the plants, so I won't mulch deeper than the recommended 2".
I won't be adding any new plants to the garden or transplanting anything as 90% are mature plants and I still plan to water deeply, but I may space it out a bit further by a couple of days. It depends on the summer temps. The plants won't thrive, but they will survive.

Lyn
