Curious how much everyone else is watering in this heat. Looks like a few more weeks over 100 in the North texas area. Wondering about a heavy water every couple days vs some every day

We are watering the foundation and beds 1-2 days a week for an hour each station (alll underground or at least under river rock). The beds are all native or drought tolerant now.
Yard sprinklers twice a week for 40 min each station (just 2 stations). Everything starts at 3AM so it's mostly done before daylight. Those two basically just make a green strip around the house. The other 2+ acres is very yellow and crispy.
Hand water/soak the fruit (and 1 oak) we planted this year once a week.
Gave up on the garden last week. Moved some potted plants to the back porch and actually use kids tub water for those (my wife's idea).

I'm not. I try to live in harmony with nature, to a point. The garden is dead, and the yard is getting bare dirt patches. I'm attempting to keep my trees alive by encircling them with soaker hoses. This drought is quickly getting to be on par with 2011. I'm at the point of letting the native grasses and weeds take over the yard. I will keep them mowed short, if and when they grow.

Water just about every day somewhere. Garden is the biggest thing. IMO I can't afford the loss. I'm using soaker hoses buried under the mulch. I ll run 2-3 for about 3 hrs, Next day another section of the garden. Then there's the young citrus trees. I lost 12 trees in the 2020 freeze. Been replacing a 2-3 each year since. They need watering. I love my lawn. I fertilize it, manicure it, treat for bugs & medical issues but it's on it's own for now as far as water.It gets enough water from seepage from all the other waterin I'm doin, it'll come back. Can't afford to keep the water well goin that much.
