Put the garden corn on the drip system

[packerbacker]

My son and I may be gone for a week before the corn is ready so we decided to put the corn on the drip system along with all the other veggies. Each row has it's own, individual valve so the pressure and amount of water could be set to water it all evenly. It's all on a timer that we set to come on 4 times a day while we go through this 100+ degree weather. It can all be adjusted to match changing conditions. There was a little extra water in there when this pic was taken as it took some time to adjust everything properly. So far, so good. We picked 15 lbs of pickling cucumbers a few days ago and we're getting squash, salad cucumbers, bell peppers, a few tomatoes and some hot peppers. The watermelons, cantaloupe, broccoli and onions are still growing.

Your garden looks so neat and orderly! We still don't have any red tomatoes yet but tons of cukes and squash.

Thanks Coily. I almost forgot we had potatoes as well. They're also growing nicely and we're hoping for a big crop. They are pretty cheap at the store but still fun to grow and dig and, if there is another potato famine, we're ready! Must be the Irish in me.

You have a well cared for garden there!
