My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Turned on the Irrigation

5 years ago
last modified: 5 years ago

---can't recall ever turning on the tap so early

Turned on the Irrigation. Well close. I dragged the hose out and watered my 500 + bulb bed of Tahiti/Flower Parade. It's been somewhat dry lately and I did not want lack of water/ blooms aborting due to it.

Last year, I got some Bud Blast. All the Tahiti's bloomed but the Flower Parade's all remained closed for the entire season. Did not want last years bloom to repeat this year.

Hopefully a lil proactive watering is appreciated.
