First, I have to brag on my husband. He heard my pleas for a better way to water our garden, and he rose to the challenge! We bought a system that is automated. On it we can set times, days, length of time, and hose to direct the water through. Basically, for the areas that we have our system set up we can water them as needed without having to do anything manually. The hardest thing about it is setting everything up initially and spending the money needed on hoses, connectors, etc.
The garden (now with new plants in it) is set up with a sprinkler. The posts & wire are for the cucumbers to climb, btw. If you look closely, you can see Homer in the left corner of the picture.
The front of the house has sunflowers. The hose in the shot leads to a box that holds a hose that I can use to water things in the front and a side bed (because the spigot is in the back). This is practically the only place for me to have to manually water except for my new bed around the light pole.
The front bed is snaked with double
soaker hoses. Not pictured, the back bed also has a snaked
soaker hose. My hubby did that and used u-shaped things to hold them in place.
On Saturday I planted some new vegetables and all of my flowers, and I created that new flower bed. On Sunday, I planted some more vegetables, our herbs, and tomatoes. Below are the herbs.
Here are some cherry tomatoes in Topsy
Turvy holders.
And, so I don't completely bore you with the garden (which is pretty much finished for a while except for weeding and mulching), here are some family pictures from yesterday.
The beautiful
Christianna reaching for her new Bible at her baby dedication. It's hard to believe that she'll be 7 months soon.
Me and my mother. She's wearing the corsage my sister got her for Mother's Day. Some people say I look like my father, and some say I look like my mom. What do you think? I look more like my mom than my sister does, I know.
Me and my hubby, Josh. He's awesome. ;)
I'm going to head to bed soon. I start back to school tomorrow night. Although I think I'll like the teacher and the class, I'm not looking forward to going back to night classes. Sigh.
