The rain has finally stopped falling and I’m making another assay on the garden. I know that slow and steady is the best way to do these things, but my life has never quite worked that way, so I tend to do garden blitzes. This weekend we’re relocating one vegetable bed (which is both easier and more difficult than it sounds) and setting up an irrigation system with automatic timers, so that when I’m not around (either physically or mentally) the plants won’t die. It’s an investment of time that I’m hoping will really pay off and it’s particularly necessary as our garden continues to expand. More on the results as I work through the project. (I’d offer a link to the one I’m using, but I’m building my own from an array of parts.)
