When I went outside to check on the tomatoes and weed a bit in our flower planters, I noticed that everything suddenly looked really wilted.
I got my husband and we turned on each section of the irrigation system, and went around to all the planters, making sure all was getting water. Some weren’t getting anything at all, others were getting too much – it varied all over the place. Once we got the back finished – with a lot of the things you see in the picture above, we switched to the front, where it’s mainly actual hoses and controls.
We think we got everything going. We are inside now, drinking ice water and resting. The heat index this afternoon is between 106 and 110. We’ll stay inside until at least dinner time before trying to do anything more out there.
I hope that YOU and your PLANTS are getting enough water today!
Linda, something is wrong with your photo here, not possible to see.
Thank you, Irene. I don’t know why the picture wasn’t showing. I just changed it to another one. Thanks for letting me know.
The new one is working, Linda 🙂
Thanks again for letting me know, Irene. MUCH appreciated. I hope you’re having a wonderful Sunday.
Thank you Linda. We have had 40 C. now only 38 C. here today, much too hot to do anything, so I relax best possible.
Enjoy a beautiful Sunday.
Wow. It just makes you melt into a puddle, doesn’t it. I hope you can relax and stay where it’s cool.
Yes, it is hot and I don’t have AC, only a ventilator.
Ugh. I’m sorry, Irene. Please rest as much as you can and drink lots of water.
Thanks Linda, I do 🙂
Glad you got things going again. Luckily we haven’t lost any plants this year. Good thing, because we didn’t plant much.
Hopefully we caught things quickly enough. It is super hot here, so things croak really fast without daily watering. Fingers crossed. We decided just to wait until later to plant things in the two rebuilt brick planters. I don’t think anything new could survive right now.
