Re: [SPAM] CULT: watering

---

Wow look at that water of your sprayer. I can't imagine that kind of water anymore.  I'll put that pix on my screen saver for summer months. It's cooling.   Yes, we are now on water rationing.  3 days a wk and only between 5PM and 9AM. That's why I grow iris here.  I can still have color b/c they need so little water really. And they don't stick you either.    Local County Fair entry today. Pepsi is even donating some coolers for our display, as the building is not air conditioned.  This is the first time that has happened, so hope it helps.     Linda in CW AZ -------Original Message-------   From: t*@cs.com Date: 04/30/07 23:58:33 To: iris-photos@yahoogroups.com Subject: [SPAM] [iris-photos] CULT: watering   After 6 weeks with no rain,   ...(yes, in Holland, where it used to rain almost everyday, where rhyzomes used to rot away, where you had to wear rubber boots, where you had to build dykes to protect you from flods),   here, in Holland i have to water the iris !!!!!   On the picture, there are the seedling pots, that have to be watered everyday anyway, then, last year seedlings, that are desperate for water, then in the back some of the future beds that are ready but so dry i can replant anything, then the unturned soil ( that has to be turned soon) that is like concrete.   When i compare with the garden 3 weeks ago... so fresh and lush, i start to understand you, in Arizona...   Still won't  swap to cactuses though, there is plenty of water underground here, and we may water, night and day if we please, with no limitations......yet!   Loïc
