Greetings from southern New Hampshire, where I am about to complete filling raised bed number 5! This will be the last “new” raised bed until next month, when we harvest our garlic and I can combine the two smaller beds and expand the formerly larger bed to make two 12’ by 4’ beds.
After the harvest, I will be doing the same to the pair of beds on the opposite side of the pergola. Then, there will be the last original bed on the west side of the pergola which I will convert to a 10’ by 4’ bed.
Our village transfer station is short-staffed, so I can only get trailer loads of compost on Saturdays. Today’s is my fourth load of the spring.
Household Six is busily transplanting her seedlings. We are working together on the drip irrigation. Our new controller is working great, and having the ability to program and monitor it from our iPhones and iPads is a real bonus. Plus, it tracks local weather to modify the irrigation as needed.
Well, I bet get on my John Deere and move some compost! H-6 says we almost have lettuce ready to harvest. I noticed a few blossoms on one of the tomatos.
Would you mind sharing (again?) your drip irrigation and controller set up? I used gravity feed drip for several years in my small scale back yard garden and greenhouse. I broke it down last year when my schedule became such that I didn’t have to let it run on autopilot with timers all the time.
