It’s almost life-changing when you’re someone who spends a considerable amount of time outside (and I’ve actually started replacing all my trigger squeeze nozzles with this thumb control model). The water turns on and stays on, without me needing to squeeze a trigger-no more achy hand after a day in the garden! Having tested all types of nozzles over the years, I’ve discovered that I really like having a thumb control. I keep a few sets of Gilmour’s Flexogen Super Duty Hoses paired with their Heavy Duty Thumb Control Watering Nozzles in different parts of the yard, and have been using them for the past several years to water our containers and hard-to-reach corners.

Even with drip irrigation installed in my yard, I find that I still need to supplement with hand watering during drought and heat spells. In this sweltering weather, keeping the garden cool and well-watered is key to helping plants survive. Low precipitation this year has meant a dry, dusty summer and rationing of our local irrigation. We have a full south-facing garden and July through August are generally the hottest months for us. My high desert garden is accustomed to the sultry weather this time of year, but it’s not any easier on the plants than it is on me. Or should I say, it’s been here, as we’ve been feelin’ the heat for the past few weeks with seemingly no end in sight. This post is in partnership with Gilmour Garden and Watering.
