Here is my redneck irrigation system. I still need to trim the hoses some. They were originally cut to length before the gravel area around the shed was put in, but I've been too lazy to do it. For the front yard, you can see 3 of the sprinkler heads, there is a forth further down the wall by the tree that actually faces back towards the bushes to water them.

Wasting it in October

Yes.

Will it snow?

Yuck. Needs to trend north! Hardly a breeze for me. Unless it’s going to drag in Arctic air and I get snow, then that’s okay.
