From Aimee:
Yesterday my lovely city issued an emergency water ban until further notice. This means no watering grass, flowers, gardens, washing cars, or swimming pools this summer. Are you serious? So my lawn we have worked so hard at to get in good shape is now going to burn??? Does New Haven really need help loosing home values with something like this? Houses are already going for HALF of what we paid 6 years ago. Do I understand that some people in the village are having water pressure issues? Yes. Has this been going on for 6 years and yet city council has failed to do ANYTHING about it? Yes. Mike Barnet, I understand you have a job to do and accept you have to make unpopular decisions. Who am I mad at? The Village. The Village of New Haven has let internal political turmoil dominate the landscape and only rarely addressing true issues of importance. We have pushed the water system to its breaking point and now we are forced to make quick decisions to rectify the situation. Guess what, I don't care. I'm sorry if the Village doens't want to feel pressured into making a decision, but guess what, you have brought it on yourself. Fix the system and allow watering again. This is now VERY personal.

Ouch! we pay a flat $20 for our water here at the apartment so if you want to come fill up 5 gallon jugs for the garden, help yourself :)
That sucks!!!! So what does this mean for your garden?
OH Meagan, you summer is starting like my winter did. I'm so sorry!!!!
If you need water for your garden the hose is always on and it on the front side of my house, your WELCOME to stop and get water ANYTIME!!! No need to ask, just stop by and get some.
