Since we are on a well, I can only haul water in buckets - don't dare use a hose for fear of burning out the well pump. Since my back isn't what it once was, I can only haul so many buckets, so I mainly water the container-garden in my breezeway and on the front stoop. Everything else just parches. You might think that here in Westchester County, just 40 miles north of NY City, we would have city water, but no, not up our private road. We pay water taxes each year, but there is no city water for the 12 houses on this road.

Here in CA of course almost everyone has sprinklers permanently installed. Is that the case back East or do you drag out the hose when it gets dry? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off this list, send email to majordomo@hort.net with the message text UNSUBSCRIBE GARDENCHAT
