expressive irrigation
Only a couple areas of the garden are on automatic watering with dedicated sprinklers. The rest of the garden has to depend on rainfull and the gardener dragging a hose over to whatever needs to be watered. I’m sure that reduces how much I water because I’m very conscious of how long I’m standing there with the hose and how moist the soil appears to be getting.
It’s been warm for the last couple of weeks, and a month since the last rains, so I’ve been doing a certain amount of watering. But I’ve also been making little line drawings with the hose…
And how many of you have this same sprinkler head? I try no to anthromorphize things too much, bust this sprinkler always seems to be staring back at me quizzically.

I’ve never seen that type of sprinkler before-but do think it neat!

Like Tina, I’ve never seen a sprinkler that looked anything like that. I think we *may* need to see a photo of it in action. Just where does the water come out?

Sounds like I’ll have to stage a demonstration as soon as the weather dries out!

That sprinkler is an old line number, for sure. And, yeah, it has you — and me! — directly in its sights. It never got the note that staring is rude. That’s the “old fashioned” for ya.
