It is sure nice when it is dry AND you can water like that. Not so nice when it is dry and you have to carry water a hundred yards in buckets! The beds look great!

Also, same question as Bower, no deer problems? A buddy of mine has a house in the woods, lots of deer and squirrels, but he says they don't bother his little garden patch right against the house. He has a Springer marking everything and I'm sure that helps some in keeping them down the hill. On the other hand, a lot of people around here have so many backyard in-town deer problems, some can't keep a tomato plant from being eaten off in June.
