2022 gardens

I'm going to work on installing a watering system on the raised garden... (Yeah, I'm getting lazy in my old age  )

Should I have it water from above or from below 

[KEN W]

Above in the air sprinkling promotes disease. Drip is best.

always heard on the ground because of what Ken said...

I've used soaker hoses, but think they suck. I water most my stuff with a water bucket thingy. The rest I use a hose with a fan sprayer. Use less water and can hit what I want watered more directly.

I've been using a regular adjustable sprayer on my nose but can't find the right spray.  I need a fan type thing with an on and off valve on it so I can adjust the pressure better.

Hey, LPS. Please post a picture of the adjustable sprayer on you nose.

Just kidding. I have my share of auto corrects because of thuringer fingers.

It is just one of the regular pistol grip types that everyone has.  I will post it later though.  It doesn't quite have a nice gentle setting though.  When on the mist mode it takes forever to get enough water to the plants.

LPS, they want to see it on your nose. They are teasing you about the typo.

[LPS]

Ya I have wondered how I am going to handle that situation.

LPS this is the watering gizmo I use and really like it.

It does fit on hoses, not noses however!!!

[mike89]

 

[LPS]

That is the exact "nose" thing that I am looking for.

Here's my prototype......

Looks like there were a few jonquils blooming from one of the spring planters I stuck in the ground last year after it had died down. Daffodils & hyacinths are a warm day or so from opening up. Same with the crocuses. They have lots of flower buds on them & were just poking thru last Saturday.

We just couldn't stand not getting something growing. I will be moving them in and out of the garage for some awhile before they get put in the garden. I hope I will not have to bring out a heater for the garage.

Picked up the last of my garden seeds this morning. Onion sets!!

I should get some tomato plants whenever my mom decides to come back home.

A few things starting to show signs of spring here: Daffodils are opening but it's been so blasted cold they don't want to stand up straight. Hyacinth is blooming but doesn't seem to smell like they do inside. Oh wait, I have COVID. I can't smell anything anyway! Dandelions are starting to bloom along the south side of the house. And lastly the crocuses popped open. Gotta be quick or ya miss 'em. For perspective, checking the photo date, the crocuses are over a month behind last year.

For sure it will be a shorter season.

Finally got my Candy onions planted today in one of my raised beds where it was dry enough. Planting peas tomorrow.

[glenn57]
