Watering the Garden

How I miss Spring with showers supreme rainy weather kept everything green But now it's June in the summer heat have to water or it's your garden's defeat An early heatwave it is blazing hot everything gets scorched especially in a pot so watering each morning never stops thirsty plants need watering a lot With a garden hose and nozzle galore I water and spray and water some more Over a hundred the temperature rise how much of the poor garden survive I sat in my chair and aim the nozzle clear watering watering everywhere The shower setting when I am near the jet, full, center for way over there A soaker used if I need a break the cone is playful the angle great Mist for my face to keep cool flat for spraying as the leaves drool Use jet setting to spray away birdbath's dirty water from birdies play then fill it high to the top holding spray down when full stop I like to water it's almost like play with my nozzle so many ways to spray The garden remains green and the birdies sing pretty flowers, fruits and veggies it brings.
