When I built my mound garden I didn't know if we'd be able to get the outside hydrant to work so I built in some insurance. Near the roots of the plants I knew I'd probably want to water a lot, I planted coffee cans with holes in the bottom. That way I can pour water in them so they will slowly seep water to the roots instead of having to pour the water on top of the plant and have a good deal of it just evaporate.
It seems to be working fairly well in this heat, although I probably should have come over and watered last night. I was just too tired after sitting in the heat all afternoon! You wouldn't believe all the crazy people who came to the Quincy Mall market yesterday ;) Glad Grampa and I aren't the only crazies out there! THANK YOU to all who braved the heat!
God Bless You All!
