No, I understood that your beds get watered once a week. Just not the amount of time it took you to do it.
It takes me longer to do the circuit to get things watered. The tank isn't as high as we'd like, so the water pressure is lower than from the well tank. In a couple of areas, the best I can do is a 2' circle at a time. Some beds have only had water twice this summer, and the poor orchard, only once. I've had to abandon most of the drip as it all needs to be redone.. missing emitters, broken lines, clogged lines etc. I've got one stinking little gopher under a raised bed that's really pissing me off.. Fortunately it's got wire underneath... but if he dares go any further, he's toast!

I kind of fell away from being active in the rose community for the past 15 years and no longer am up on newer hybrids.. or remember a lot of the older ones, for that matter. I'd been ordering primarily from Vintage, and have some from them that I couldn't live without (Shot Silk, Dearest, St. Elisabeth of Hungary, Festival Fanfare..). If you could only have 7 or 10 roses, which ones would you choose?
The surest sign that intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe is that it has never tried to contact us.
