Friday afternoon (Before)
To put it in a nutshell, by
Friday afternoon, we were
pretty close to being - toast...
Even though I had watered
all through the day and
into the night every day
with drip irrigation
(over 14 hours per day),
I couldn't keep up with the
drying effects of the temps
and wind - and things were
looking like they weren't
going to be able to recover.
That's when Neil made the
decision to move his BIG
irrigation system from
the vineyard to the farm
so we could pump some
REAL water on everything.
We finished setting
all the
irrigation pipe and tractor
pump at dusk and then ran
it till after 10 PM. We put
at least 2
inches of water
on all of the gardens -
a real nice slow soaking
- and they drank it!
Sunday Morning (After)
Everything was looking a lot
less wilted. (note the big
pipe in the foreground...
Its metal, heavy, and gets
very hot in the sun - which
I found out the hard way...
