With the heat and drought beginning to take a toll we’ve been busy watering the garden, young trees and the wildlife. Thank goodness the garden has a t-tape irrigation system in its second year that is simply wonderful. Especially after discovering that the minerals in our well water will clog a soaker hose in one season, making them quite a waste around here.
It’s not just the land that needs water in Arkansas these day. As you can see from the pic above, a good dunk in the stock tank that is filled with icy well water can put your day going in the right direction after hot and sweaty hours in the garden. We use it as a dunk-&-relax tank for several days, then hook a hose to the clean out drain and water trees and shrubs with the water. Refill and repeat as necessary to keep the mood cool and the outlook hopeful, regardless of the weather.
