Tap timer

A very important component in the garden when one is under watering restrictions
and getting older and more forgetful.

Clever gardener's technology.

funny how many yellow things there are around the house/home when we start looking isn't it.

I think the plants would let you know quickly in your weather that they need WATER ;-)

You made the ordinary look extraordinary.

The timers are very important!
We are allowed to water twice a week with sprinklers between set hours only.

Very useful to you!!
Not necessary here at all. I hardly ever have to water our garden.

I usually forget to water my plants altogether. Hasn't been much of a problem with the summers we've had recently, mind you...

This is a nice find. and a very good idea for watering the garden.
Cindi Smith19-Feb-2009 01:21
I need to get one of those!!!! I'm always forgetting!

I think our government must have a similar 'sun timer' here, they are really old & forgetful too ! ;-))

Great invention! We have that problem, three fine days and it's a "drought". Sigh. lol

We also have to save water here, so we have the entire irrigation system divided into zones and we can control how many minutes of water each zone gets. Thanks to the above average rain the whole system has been turned off since Christmas time.
Linda Willets18-Feb-2009 22:03
great idea.. we sometimes forget to turn off.
