MarcW, did you feel any of the outreaching rain from your tropical cyclone Graham which swept across the north country but a day or so ago..? Do you actually have ample rainwater during the season? And the 3rd question, of course, is where does your automatic watering system actually get its water from? My brother-in-law and his wife have bought a small retirement house being built in southern Florida, and have just returned from a quick trip to see how it was coming along ... they said it's on a pretty lake -- but no one can swim in it, because of all the alligators. I do wonder what will happen when their grandchildren come down to visit. . . At least here in New York we only have woodchucks and moles and skunks and deer to plague us. Don't think I could handle alligators, altho George might disagree...
