Spent another day bailing water. We didn't get any snow, but quite a bit of rain. We want wind! I can't believe I said that. My little pump kept getting plugged up so I came up with plan "B" If you look at the picture of Andrew putting together the hoophouse on April 26th, you will see an irrigation pipe behind him coming through the fence and a bucket on the ground. A gallon or so at a time away from the patch. It's simple, very messy, but it does work...unless more keeps falling from the sky. The day before the picture was taken, we had about 5 inches of water in the corner.
