Cut some 30 gallon barrels in half, filled them with some dirt and plant some crap in them. Now if only I had some weed seeds, that is what I would plant.

4x8....these are the 3rd set ive built. Put irrigation on these tied to my sprinkler system and it made a world of difference in my plants yield.

Thanks!

Pillage, your garden is always so much ahead of mine. I live above I-10 in NW Florida and it is obviously colder here than where you are. And I don't start seeds in January.

Yes. I T'd off of my sprinkler pipe and put a pop up in each bow. U can see the hole it makes by the offset pepper plant.

Only problem is I can heavy water my back yard gras without watering the veggies.

Hasnt been an issue but wish it was on a seperate zone.







Edit: here they are running

Could use some help with my beans.

The first pic is Kentucky Wonders that will be climbing the trellis next to them. They seem to be a little more yellow than I expected. Especially compared to the purple hull peas in the row next to them. Second pic is up close of the kentucky wonder.

Third pic is of dragon tongue bush beans. They seem stagnant and extremely yellow. I have one plant that is green. I heard that you don't really want to put nitrogen on beans, so I haven't added anything fertilizer, etc. to them.

Any thoughts on what's going on? They have all been in the ground about 4

The soil may be too alkaline. Get a PH test done. It could also be too much moisture in the soil.

Maybe someday UNICEF will get in the weed business and start sponsoring students habits. But until it stays in the closet and you make the kool aid
