Dad has been putting in a drip system for our flowers. This a trench he dug and then laid pipe out to the garden so I don't have to deal with dragging 3 hoses out to the garden so I can water. Baxter watered the top half of the garden yesterday using the turn on value at the garden. It works sweet. He also dug a trench over to the swimming pool and it is filling as I type. No hoses, oh my.

WOW, dad is really keeping busy it looks like! Way to go!
All the rain we had was just the "cats meow" for making it easy to dig the trench. With a board taped to the sole of my shoe, I could shove the sharpened, square nosed, spade in to the hilt on intersecting angles. Then slice the wedge shaped ribbon into pieces and pry them out of the trench with minimal lifting. It was pretty gratifying.
This soil gets really hard when it is dry. Impossible to sink a spade by foot.
How nice, no hoses ;) It will be so nice for you all summer! YAY for easy watering!
Your garden looks great!
