Thanks, Bill.

There's no reason why we cannot water - for the most part -
early in the morning, but it's good to know that we have an
acceptable alternative.

On a few of the very hottest, driest days last summer, we
watered (using a hand-held hose) twice, so we may need to
water twice a day again occasionally.
