RE: watering and dealing with the heat

Interesting... I was about to go out and buy some soaker hoses for my
veggie garden-- Do you think the ones with the thousand of pin holes
spraying up would be better? I have had it with the lugging and
watering, and my plants will need water for sometime now... yep- growing
brussel sprouts.. so they will be out there till thanksgiving!... well,
if they make it through this heat season. 

We did eat some of the sweet corn over the weekend... yummy! Taste, but
a bit small.
