Question
i AM IN ARIZONA, IT'S HOT HERE...HOW OFTEN SHOULD I BE WATERING RIGHT NOW? I AM WATERING EVERY DAY AND SOME PEOPLE THINK THIS IS TOO MUCH...WHAT DO YOU THINK? also, i HAVE ABOUT 6 CREPT MERTYLES IN MY BACK YARD...WHAT IS THEIR WATERING SCHEDULE? THANK YOU

Answer
Susan,

 It depends on how much you are watering the plants each day.  You might dig up around one of them and see if the soil and inch or two down is still moist the day after you water.  If it is, then don't water.
 Creeping myrtle are fairly drought resistant.  Once a week is good unless you see they are stressed.
