Hot days...

The summer is getting hotter here in western Colorado. Today it's going to hit 102, and tomorrow 104. The garden is doing well, but I've noticed that the water reservoirs in the SIPs are going down fast. The Grow Boxes have 4 gallon reservoirs and I am filling them at least once a day, and they are pretty low when I get to them. The 5 gallon buckets too. The tomatoes, peppers, and other plants are healthy though, and don't appear to have any wilt.

Next year I plan on setting up an automatic watering system, probably the rain gutter system with float valve.

Here's a photo.
