Water!

This is a much better day. I have more energy and hooked up the rest of the sprinklers. Put together the hoses and solenoids inside the greenhouse and temporarily used the remote Christmas timer on the solenoid that controls the water to the flower garden. While having lunch we ran the watering for 15 minutes. we measured approx 1/2 inch of water in a plant saucer. I went to Home Depot and got more 1/4 inch tubing and added 3 more sprinklers, 2 of them on stakes. Finished this by 4 PM and ran another 15 minute test run. The coverage looks great, I'm happy. I need to do a more permanent job with the solenoid wiring but first I need to finish planting the garden. Dinner was pad Thai from a Whole Foods noodle box. Very good. I originally was going to do some Cajun cooking tonight but we were so tired that it didn't happen. Listened to Gotterdamerung on Sirius live. During the thrid act I got tired so I pressed record on the DVR. We'll see if that works. |
