Hi Olin,

What a terrific idea, Watering is one of the things that is the hardest for me to do...
You didn't mention what kind of timer you used.....where  was it set.....where did you purchase it.....
obviously one more great idea from from the sq ftrs

Hey are there any sq ftrs in Austin Texas?
I've moved here from Oregon and don't know what to plant when!
