Re: watering

Hi Donna,
What did you want to know.  My area is for the most part flat, but I put out
and take in my veggie garden lines each year.  The main lines are buried,
although not too deep and like you I blow them out prior to the real hard
freezes.
Am going to put in some more flower watering lines yet this fall, when I get
done siding the front of the house.   Rich, where we got our "killing" frost
last night, in Z-5
