Simple Gardening

After my father helped us build 2 raised garden beds, David decided to expand the beds to a total of 5. We put down biodegradable weed barrier that we can mix into the soil at the end of the season. And (my favorite part!) David dug a trench in our yard, laid down pipe and then (with the use of spider irrigation) ran individual emitters to each plant. We won't need to worry about dragging a hose around the yard to keep the plants hydrated! And, since we've already experienced temperatures in the 90's, our plants need lots of water so they don't die.


We're growing tomatoes, zucchini, peppers, cucumbers, watermelons, cantaloupes, string beans, basil and corn. I'm looking forward to all the fresh vegetables and fruit that we're going to have this summer!
