That looks really nice. Do weeds not grow in your neck of the woods?
I’m still learning the quirks of running dripline. I’ve already got a list of “don’t do it like that next time” items.
It works really well when it’s set up correctly. I’ve already made plans to tape and mat my kitchen garden next season.
hubby favors a butane torch.
Very Very ingenious...
LOL. He sure did save you some work. I used to throw those bales up into the back of a GMC S-10 size pickup, back when we had horses.
It’s been hot and dry here too. I dash out for 10 minutes, then come in and sit in front of the fan for 30. Then do house work. Then dash back out again.
Cut off all the garlic scapes to freeze for later use. Pulled up a couple to see how the bulbs were doing. They looked good. Soon as the garlic is pulled, I’ll need to plant something else, but I’m not sure what it will be.
Something with 90-day or less maturity, that can stand full sun, that won’t object to the volunteer potatoes that came up in a part of that bed.
I love those sugar- baby watermelons. I grew those and Minnesota Midget cantaloupe in 2010. They were great. Haven’t been able to get a decent crop since. They start out great, but then the vines collapse and fruit doesn’t mature.
Hubby has some sort of melon, zukes, and cukes planted this year, under row covers, as it’s possible that it is due to the disease spread by cucumber beetles. He said if it doesn’t work this year, he’s done with cucurbits.
I am hauling just 2 gallons per day, now from the rain barrels to water the plants in pots that are sitting in afternoon shade. Watering the rest with water from the swimming pool using water hose & gravity.
I wish I could take credit for it. I can’t remember where I first saw the design, it was on a DIY website somewhere.
