At this time, I am watering all by hand, which takes me about one hour daily. I keep my water bill down by using grey water from the washing machine and bio-eco-friendly laundry soap, but I need to reroute my soaker hoses so I can put them on a timer before the summer heat hits.
Other news is that my hollyhocks finally bloomed in their 2nd year and as soon as my camera battery recharges I will post pictures of their delicate loveliness. In the meantime, enjoy my favorite rose (the only one that has survived my pitiable rose cultivation skills). I can smell the fragrance of it just looking at the photo.
