No, no puddles in Fresno. In fact, it might be a lack of water that is troubling Phillip's garden.
Phillip, 150 feet of drip line? I hope you have good water pressure. You sure its water flowing down that dripline - might be sand by the end? I thought you were speaking Hawaiian Pidgin. You sound just like my cousins. Its August 23 at my house too. We must be in the same time zone.
Rick, yes, if it ever rains in California again, Phillip will have puddles as the entire central valley is a block of hardpan.
