    Default Getting ready for Spring already

    Today we were installing the lines from the faucet to our raised beds in preparation of putting in a watering system. Got the lines done. Now the next step will be putting a misting system (or other method of watering) in.

    I am looking forward to spring although winter hasn't even officially begun. I think I will make a ticker calendar to count down the days till warmer weather, which probably wont be until mid april.

    Hmmmm. I have a big pile of PVC bought for another project that'll never be done now. I might have to think about this kind of a system. With a low-point drain in it somewhere, of course.
