Advance Warning! This blog probably won't have cute or funny little lines. I simply wanted to have a written record of what we have planted in our garden so far. Oh by the way, we have been adopted by the local LDS ward gardeners. Scott & Floyd have brought us 8 bags of fertilizer and last night they brought us 8 tomato plants.
Let me back up, after days and day of tilling ( and he still has more to do) David has reduced the size of our garden from the original 6600 sq ft. down to a mear 5000 sq ft.
We needed to buy irrigation pipes in order to water everything. We priced the value opener, 3 40 ft. links of pipe with risers and rain birds and the end cap and it was going to cost around $450. David found a guy on craigslist selling a set of 4 40 ft. pipes for $50 apiece.We will still have to buy the valve opener, risers, rainbirds and the end cap. We have a friend with a trailer that will pick them up for us. The cost has been reduce to around $370, pluse we have an extra 40 ft of pile that we can either use or resell. I love a bargain!!!
Ok back to the actual garden, I keep getting distracted. We currently have planted 46 tomatoes, 39 peppers, 4 tomatillas, 4 egg plants Along with the list of things in my last blog "Planting in the Rain". I just realized that I haven't counted everything else. I'll have to update this later. We also planted a large patch of spinach, a lettuce mix, arugala, swiss chard, and radishes.
The irrigation water is on and Farmer Dale came back last night and hooked up our irrigation for the front yard! YAY!!!! He should be bringing David's new friends #769, #324, #468 & #503 soon. (The Cows)
Happy Gardening !!!
