Hooked Up Hoses

Another beautiful summery feeling day. I set up all the hoses in their permanent configurations, with Y splitters and nozzles. Some years I've had difficulties, but this time everything connected easily with no leaks.

I know, I know. It's too early.

But we are now zone 7a on the hardiness map, and the last frost is expected by April 15. For the next 10 days until April 4 we don't go below freezing at night and days are warm. 

If freezing weather happens after that forecast, or later into April or May, I'll unhook everything. I won't need to drain and store the hoses, just unhook them and turn everything off.

With the hot sunny weather I need to keep things well watered. Everything is so dry, and I want my plants to get a decent start for the season.
