Friday Night Garden Prep

I have talked about how strange the weather is and it continues. We have a couple of “normal” weather day with highs in the high sixty or low seventy then 85 and 90.  I have been trying to keep a check on the weather to make sure I am plant with the best opportunity for growth and no frost. I checked again today and it appears that things are going to settle down. We don’t have any lows in the 30’s but we do have some 40’s in the next 10 days. I am hoping we get lots of rain as my rain barrels are 1/4 or less. My plan is to get the 100 plus plants out of the greenhouse and into the ground tomorrow.

BUT before we could plant, I really wanted to get all of our watering system in place.  Matt worked hard to get a new solar pump hooked up. We ended up moving one of the pumps to the front bed which I am excited about.  The tomato beds now have a drip line that should keep everything growing!

Here is the watermelon bed. I planted this a week ago but with no rain, I am going to give this bed another two weeks before I replant.

While Matt was working on the water systems, I worked and struggled and finally got the blueberry bed weeded!  This was a long and labor intensive project but I am proud of the results and hope it last.

Yes we have blueberries!

 

I am planning to share again on Sunday when we get everything planted.
