The garden is almost ready for the vegetables. In the past two weeks, we added steer manure and some of our compost. Today, I laid the drip hoses in the raised beds. I added the timer and will wait to watch it come on tonight as programmed for 10 minutes at 6:20 PM. I tested the watering without the timer first, and from the pictures below, you can see the watering is pretty close to correct.
Beds 1 and 2 above. Mostly for tomatoes, peppers and eggplant. The plant in bed 1 is Greek Oregano that came back from last year. I'll add basil also. Bed 2 will also have cucumbers on the frame at the rear of the bed.
Beds 3 and 4 above are for more cucumbers on the frame at the rear of bed 3, and for squash and lettuce, beets, spinach if I have room.
Above is the Orbit timer that I have to look up on YouTube every year to relearn how to program. It went smoothly and we'll test it tonight.
We also have two compost bins that are used year-round.
