I have a big veg garden. I have resorted to watering the individual plants with a garden hose, rather than setting the sprinklers for an hour or so a day. I have a well and I am beyond worried about the water table. Hopefully the forecast for a cooler, wetter August is right. They damn well were right about June and July!
