How about C all of the above!!!LOLOLOL

Kylie

Me too! We did have 4 days of rain last week. (Showers mostly) Just enough not to have to water.
The first day of no rain, Watering was a MUST!
The only time the water hoses get put up is when the glass is cut.
It's a constant battle. But if you put them up,the next day you have to pull them all out again.
Just a waste of next! LOL
Most of mind watering is once a day for around 1 hr.
I know some have to do alot more.
Will off to water again!
LOL

LOL, you gals!!!

Hoses are a garden accessory, right??????? LOL!

Brenda, BORED? It keeps me busy for like 5 hours now that I do the neighbors plants too. I am tired of it lol REAL tired to the point I take long naps again ha ha ha

I wish I could just leave the hose laying stretched out. But we just had to buy yet another one because the heat MELTED the old one. It bubbled up ALL OVER. No way to save anything on the 150' hose :-( And that with it being pulled to the house every time I use it and it getting only the morning to noon sun :-(

ahhhhhhhhhhhh rain...what is that?

I tend to leave the hoses most of the time..then DH starts b!t&%!n and puts them away..I try to put them away..but why bother when you're just gonna need again so soon? If only they looked prettier, lol. or were camo so we couldnt see them. O no never mind, then we'd be tripping over them, lol. I havent had to leave the hoses layin around this year yet.
I have been using pond water for the plants. let the rain fill the pond back up..I have only needed to use the hose once so far between the rain and the pond. Even when it rains overnight I have to water..that aint right! Torrential downpours sat night, whole yard flooded, then Sunday I had to water everything in pots..whats up with that???? what we do for our lovelies.

All the rain we had kinda spoiled me..now I'm complaining about watering the pots every day, lol. My shoulders ache from carrying 5 gallon buckets full of water around the yard so much now.

I also leave the hoses laying but have finally learned to release the pressure and water, otherwise they swell and spring leaks! DH just fixed 2 hoses last week. I had fixed one a few weeks before that.

We had rain last night and today so no watering. Tomorrow I can probably get away with just a little watering on stuff in smaller pots.

I also leave mine laying out. I hate winding it up. I saw a storage thing that said it wound itself up automatically from water pressure, but it was around $50 so I didn't buy it.

Brenda.....where have you been? I know you must have lots of blooms, and we want pics! LOL. Any new exciting seedlings? Still no blooms from any of mine.

Shawn

I leave my hoses out but I have to be careful because the water gets so hot it will burn a person. It would be more prudent to wind the hose up and not have to let so much water run out on the ground because of the temp.

I have four hoses hooked up to one faucet, and they lay out across the yard. Unfortunately, as I move around watering different things, the four hoses are now hopelessly tied in knots! LOL

Another vote for leaving the hoses out! Fortunately we have been getting tons of rain this year and I don't have to worry about getting home to water again later in the day as I have in the past. I envy tidy people, I'm not one of them!

Hubby and I spoke last night about the hoses laying everywhere! We only hang them up when we are mowing or having guests over, so nobody trips. No rain in a long time, so we are watering every other day and in some beds every day.

LMAO Ryan! Pay some neighborhood kid $5 to untangle them for ya.
I got a free 100' one last year from someone who just didnt want to untangle theirs, they'd rather buy a new one. I am forever getting hoses tangled. I have to untangle them every time I need them..PITA! I dont even understand how they can get the tangles they do! Its like some kinda magic trick, lol.

I had one of those spooly/winding thingies to keep it nice n neat..never used it cuz I hated it. Wonder where that went? Well, with 4 hoses whats the point of only having 1 winding thingy anyway? OK WHAT are those things called??? LMAO! I cant keep calling them spooly/winding thingies.

Well, looks like I'm in good company!!!

Shawn, I will post photos of seedlings- nothing blooming but that's about to change, in next few days to a week. No seedling close to blooming, tho! :-( ....darn, darn! I got about 100 more days before frost for them to do it!

Ryan, I have three faucets and a pump from our creek- I was thinking of getting one of those connectors that does 4 hoses on one faucet, but, boy, ya just talked me out of that! LOL! It is bad enough when I get a crick in the hose, all the way back where it is hooked up to the faucet, and have to walk 150' back to undo it! Cussing all the way, I hate to admit!

Danielle, I got two of those spooly, winding thingies (hose reels) and they are used for winter storage, ONLY!!!

I found if I unhook the hose and leave it lying straight not curved and drain the water, it will not kink up so bad, and last much longer. I ruined so many hoses before I figured this out. If I try to coil it up, it gets kinks, because I don't coil it perfectly.

I leave mine out but after I turn off the faucet I drain them or they get the big bubbles and bust. I am having an aweful time with the hose in the greenhouse kinking. I think because I go out the door with it one direction and then go out the other door and get the stuff on the other side. All the back and forth get it a mess. Even John stopped putting the hose away and he was always after me to do it before he took over watering some of the back beds, lol. I only roll them up to mow since I have to drag them all over the yard twice a day. It just takes more work to unroll them again, lol. The morning water is a quick one before work just to keep them going til later mostly the potted things. I soak everything good in the evenings. We are really hoping the cold front will bring some rain. They say its going to get down to 93 Sunday. Maybe I can actually get some weeding done, lol.

I have to water everyday as we have had exceptionally hot temps for over a month with minimal rain and I have sandy soil. Since I am still gimping around and tend to lose my balance easily my DH unwinds the hose for me and winds it up when I am done. I guess there are some benefits to not getting around well. I will admit that I leave the hoses hanging out during the winter rather than putting them in the garage. I am sure the ice and snow weaken them but I am still guilty of leaving them out! Shame! Shame!

LOL Joyce, thats the only time mine really get 'put away'. Late November they all go under the porch.

Ah Brenda, hose reels, thats it! lol!!
