My husband has small sprinklers/hoses attached for along the fences, which just spray the beds themselves. Pots I water myself if need be, and again we have really only had to do that this last two weeks.<br /><br />The main garden is easily covered with a sprinkler, but Mostly I was dumping saucers all summer. We have our own well, so water is not a problem, unless they force us to eventually use a municipal water system, this I know is a luxury here in the Great Lakes region compared to the rest of the country. I do choose plants species of perennials that are native to our area, so they are mostly drought and heat tolerant. We do not water lawns, if that helps at all. Thanks for your interest, happy gardening.<br />Sandi Maglehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09704266549174163817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3181238201239847317.post-16448308782357555042017-09-20T11:01:47.277-05:002017-09-20T11:01:47.277-05:00You have a beautiful garden!
