no bug issues here, but the heat is finally on, 96 yesterday, 93 today. and no breeze. making my guys take take breaks inside and down bottle water. booted up the irrigation to 10 minutes a zone for a total of 4 hours 55 minutes run time. 3 boxes, 35 zones per box for a total 105 zones. every thing looking good.

36k in flowers and hanging baskets and drip lines this year, not look good if they went crispy.

Drop lines are better than what they did in my last neighborhood, they had a guy on a ladder truck water them every day!
 
when I took the grounds position over 7 years ago they where watering by hand 86 baskets, time consuming and logistically with the roads the way there are a pain as needed flagers on the east and west hills. So happens they are all on light posts than run along the road side along with the irrigation lines. easy thing to tap into the lines, run a drip insides the light poles, tap drill a hole in the pole where you needed the line to come out, pop in a groman, and feed into the basket with a small 360 drip sprinkler. No ideal why the folks before me did not see this, reduced man hours by an easy 120 hours a week on irrigation.
 
took about 2 weeks to finish, only had to trench in 2 new zones for the lines in the RV parking area.
 
Some people are just not able to think sadly, even tho it's an obvious and easy solution
I do not think they where unable to think, just did not want to put the effort in to make it happen, there is reason I took there job.
