Here is my Watering stick, I know I know you can buy these extensions, but what is
the fun in that. I have about $7.00 In this one. 3/4 schedule 40 PVC 5 feet (This length
works great for me) You can make it longer or shorter whatever fits your needs.
If you have delicate plants or flowers or anything that you need a
little reach or just water the base this is great.
Hose connection and ball valve adjustment for flow
A little blurry but you can see the holes I drilled in the end cap
Here is what it looks like, You can more or less holes
Soaker Hose
One hose unwound and warming up to get the curl out, Other hose already in the garden

Very Cool stuff, Gary!!!
You really got it going!!------------
Or like they say around this area, "You're really on the stick!"
If your Tomatoes are too juicy, you'll have a rough time faxing some to me!!

That's Great Gary!!
Glad to hear your rain eased up for awhile!! Must have been like living under Niagara Falls!!!
We got it from you now----Been either Raining or Pouring for 3 days here----Can't complain though, as it's the first time in at least 10 years that we really needed it badly.
The high here yesterday was 61°, and the low was 42°!!! Doesn't feel like June!!

You had a "bumper" crop compaird to mine. I gave up on my squash. Bugs got most of my zucchini. I realized I didn't want to eat that stuff with the amount of spray I put on them. So I'm the leading bug feeder around here!!!

It sure wasn't as good as last year, didn't get much yellow squash, more zucchini. Last year I got 2 - 3 ears of corn from each stalk, this year the stalks were skimpy and only got 1 small ear off each one. Still getting tomato's but again not as good or big as last year. Oh well see what happens with the Fall Garden

Fall Garden Tilled up and planted.
My grandson did all of it for me, (hadn't been feeling well lately) He is quick, thorough and does a nice job. I just sat under the shade tree and told him how many rows of what , to plant.
