About 2-3 weeks ago I decided my young grapefruit tree needed more additional water than what my drip irrigation gives it. I took the nozzle off the hose and allowed a trickle of water on the citrus. I meant to come back after an hour or two and turn off the water.
In the meantime we were gone for a week on a cruise and for the past week we have had record amounts of rain. Yesterday was the 1st lull in the rain and while examining how my plants were doing I noticed the hose and a small puddle of water next to my grapefruit.....
I'm not looking forward to my next water bill. Perhaps I can make up for it by not taking showers for the next few weeks......
