I have a question.... how did you make those watering pipe things?? Those look like they might be a good thing to have around! Do you think they would be able to be removable? Maybe somehow so we can lay them on the ground when we're not using them?

The file name is right... the width and height needs to be taken out tho.Reinbeau said:I'd fix your link if I knew the file name

Sorry about the issue w/ the image -- it was showing last night when I posted. Must have been too wide for the forum, so I reduced the image width for the post. Should be fixed now!
About those water pipes... you'll find all the details here:

In that post it says that we didn't glue any pieces together, but eventually we had to glue the reducer to the 1.5" pipe, and the elbow to the reducer. They kept blowing out. As for storage, they'll be easy to remove as they are just wired in place, and since we didn't glue the 3" pipe to the elbow, we can take the two sections apart and store them one inside the other.

Interesting!!!! I'm going to have to see about doing something like this... I know the plants don't like to have wet leaves and all we have is a garden hose!! LOL
Thank you for sharing! It doesn't look like a very expensive add on either.

Not a huge amount of difference... but considering that it's not quite 2 weeks since we put it in... it's not terrible... LOL
Monks pumpkins
My beans... I think I may need to thin them out, no? LOL
Eventually we want to put something down between the beds... but right now we don't have anything... LOL

I'm not sure how terribly crowded those beans are, qt. 4' wide bed, right?
Okay, imagine bare dirt . . .
Now, this was one end of a potato bed yesterday with all the volunteer orache growing in there:
Sorry, I've got lots of bare dirt if'n you'd like to look at that . . .

Miss Daisy, that looks just like paradise!! How pleased you must be!
Nachoqtpie, those gardens look great! You had me thinking nothing was growing!! I wouldn't do a thing with those beans (they are bush beans, right?)
The pumpkin looks fabulous! No reason to be blue!! You just needed some "patience" seeds!!
Steve, I've got volunteer potatoes growing in my garlic bed!! So much, for my careful planning!
