watering and dealing with the heat

Hello from NH,
where we are heading for an other record setting day!

And to top it all off, a daylily buddy dropped by with a plant for me; he needs more room for his seedlings! I was stirring outside then, so I just planted it and am watering it in. I can check it a few times and then turn off the water with in the next hour.

So - what is your favorite way to deliver water to your garden? I'd prefer to hand water, but I can only carry so many watering cans up and down the hill! I covet one of the raintower sprinklers, but invent my own custom one with cinder blocks or a 5 gallon pickle bucket and a flat rock to hold the sprinkler in place. I can then adjust just where I want water. For spot watering I like a little 5 way one I found at HQ before they closed, but it is MIA in the basement or the garage. GRIN, maybe I'll clean the basement up some until the heat breaks.

I am still compiling my list of extra late daylilies. I several that are just developing scapes now. Maybe Sunday!
