Watered Beds #9, #10, and #12

Matt, thanks for watering the inside beds and for the hose link. Sam and I are going to go downstairs and make a list of what we need for the garden. We are thinking of ordering from Amazon. Any thoughts, things to add to the list? ---  How does the compost look?

watered 1-5 moderately tonight. tumbled compost. we may want to look at sprinkler hoses that would work well in our long narrow areas such as 10-12: http://www.homedepot.com/p/Apex-1-in-x-25-ft-Sprinkler-Water-Hose-2030-25/204837103?N=5yc1vZbx4eZ1z0zwqq thanks.

watered 7, 8

E18th St watering

Watered 8.

Hoping to water 10, 11, and 12, I found that the attachment from the basement hose (E18th) to the hose reel is broken - thanks to whoever turned off the water in the basement.
Sam and I will buy the appropriate parts next week and in the meantime hope it rains Sunday/Monday as predicted.

Hi, I watered 1, 2, 4, 5, 8 and 10 before running out of steam. (Leaving two sprinklers on timers overnight, hoping they work.) The four-hose splitter on the west spigot came loose, so I replaced it with two brass splitters instead, taking one from the central courtyard spigot and another one I found in back. (The timer and four-splitter are in the storage area.) Never got around to weeding the front this weekend but did tumble the compost a few times.

5, 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11.
Amy S. Clark watered 6 tonight.

Front west patch

It's a great idea to redo that west front patch. Yes, it is possible to seed grass in the Summer, but it requires some extra care: straw, dry grass or peat moss on top to keep the humidity and regular watering. The ideal time to seed grass is when temperature goes constantly below 80F - end of August or September. At the moment I don't know what the best type of grass would be, but we can find it out on line or at the store where we buy the seeds.
