The Garden

Here is a picture of our garden. We only have tomatoes, peppers and squash but there should be plenty of each. This year we are trying a drip irrigation system This allows us to water a few minutes every day and with a timer we can automate the process. The timer I have leaks so I will need a new one to do the automation bit. I will do it before we go away for more than a day. The garden uses 1 gallon per hour drippers and applies the water directly to the roots of the plant, thus saving water but getting what we need on the plants. They will only run for 5-10 minutes each day. We will also use the same system to water some flowers. In close proximity to the garden we have Canna  Lilies and roses, 2 of the roses are pictured below.
