So do I. It "spit" for a minute this afternoon, and the sun didn't even bother going behind a cloud. Now there is steam coming off the street. Everything is just pitiful here.

Problem is that I started planting before I attended some of the seminars on dealing with water scarcity...my stuff is really spread out over 1 3/4 acres. Some beds were determined by existing trees that I wanted to stay. I'm going to try the bottle method in places were there is shade...in the sun, I'm thinking that the water will get too hot. Don't know about the 
rest.
