If we have nothing else....

...we'll have onions! 


These last two days we've spent giving some attention to our onions which are coming along quite nicely. The black plastic has been laid down in preparation for the basil plants and tomato transplants. We also spent today weeding Iran to get ready for our mulch which should be coming tomorrow. Today we also got the first planting of our Pak Choi in, which is the first of three. Overall a very productive day! We did have to spend a lot of time watering the fields, and lugging those hoses around takes a lot of energy. We're working on getting a sprinkler, but has anyone had any other success watering a while field with just a single hose? Any ideas would be fantastic, just put them in the comment section!

  1. If you don't care about using the hose for anything else, you can cut small semi-circles on either side of it and lay it down between your rows. When you turn on the water, if the pressure is good, and the slits small enough you should get a little spray. If not, simply small holes will get some drip into the ground. Also PVC piping works. Basically, imagine drip irrigation.
    Good luck!
