Husband finished putting the irrigation in last week so we spent Wednesday through Saturday planting seeds and running rabbit fence. We have about 1750 square feet planted. The three closer rows have six varieties of tomatoes: Illini Gold, Black Cherry, Egg Yolk, Homestead, Snowberry, and Sladkiy. The two farther rows are half and half Honeydew Melon and Golden Bantam Sweet Corn. The irrigation set-up seems to be working really well. It's easy to use and I think we must be using much less water than the old flood system we had before. And it wasn't that expensive. I'm not sure why we never looked into setting some up before.
The other two sections have two rows each. Calabacitas and Japanese Cucumber are planted in the closest one, then an entire row of Desert King Watermelon. We planted Yellow Scallop Squash, Ping Tung Eggplant, Jackson Wonder Bush Beans, Serrano and Ancho Peppers, and Sweet Yellow Peppers in the 1st long row and Melon Banana, Burgandy Okra, Harriet Bush Beans, Ground Cherry, and Tomatillo in the 2nd long row.
Now we've just got to wait for them to start sprouting. I checked today and may have seen one or two.
The anticipation!
