Watering
ג' אב ה' תשס"ט - July 23, 2009Before leaving for the weekend I brought the basil in and watered it. I pinched off a few flowers that were growing on it. I hope it does well while we’re away. I also hope it rains or at least isn’t too hot so our grass is still green when we return. Not sure when [...]
Watering
ג' אב ה' תשס"ט - July 23, 2009I set the new sprinkler out this morning and it was so noisy that it woke Dana. It’s definitely going back. I’d rather have a quiet sprinkler that soaks my lawn in the 40 minutes I run it than one that pounds the house and doesn’t get much water to any one spot. How frustrating! [...]
Watering
כ"ח תמוז ה' תשס"ט - July 19, 2009I went to the hardware store and picked up a new sprinkler. It’s one of those pulse sprinklers that make that ticking sound like you see on golf courses. The entire unit is metal which is annoying because it looks too valuable to leave out but which should stand up to vandalism (though if I [...]
Vandal!
כ"ו תמוז ה' תשס"ט - July 17, 2009When I came home from work today I found that someone has vandalized my sprinkler. It wasn’t the best sprinkler in the world but someone clearly came onto my property and broke it. It looks like someone snapped it clean in half. They also moved the hose. It almost looks like they didn’t like the [...]

After I purchased my basil plants and potted them in the potter Dana bought for my birthday a year ago, I figured water them once a week and put [...]

כ"ד תמוז ה' תשס"ט - July 15, 2009Did the morning watering this morning. 20-minutes per side. Looks like every other day is working out so far. We’ll see.
Watering
כ"ב תמוז ה' תשס"ט - July 13, 2009I’ve been trying to do the every other day thing. We had some rain over the weekend which helped but since then we’ve had thunder and at most a tiny drizzle for a couple of minutes but not enough to replace actual watering. As a result, it looks like this week will be an actual [...]
Watering
י"ט תמוז ה' תשס"ט - July 10, 2009I skipped the watering yesterday morning. I’m trying to transition into watering every other day in an effort to safe water (not that I use that much water to begin with). Did the usual 20-minutes per side.
