I do everything the old time way. Usually works, but this has been an unusual year. The only space that I irrigate is my backyard kitchen garden. That little 40 x 70 ft space takes up all my water hours, and I doubt that the worth of the vegetables covers my water bill. Years ago I set an irrigation pump to move water from the pond to one field where I grew sweet corn. I am just too old to move the pipe and pumps around anymore. Mute, anyway as the pond is about half dry and falling rapidly.

The main garden.
