Trying to regain seconds and minutes of my day by setting up automatic watering systems. 💦

I value my time, but I also want vegetables that live and thrive (not die of thirst because “I’ll get to them later” 🫠 who is with me here). Irrigation is a must. I use it in my veggie garden and main flower field. Different styles for different applications.

This one is brought to you by . Saving me minutes that add up to hours of time 💃🏻🕺🏽

Peony season has come to an end

Planting my excess dahlias. 🌸

Always looking to try new ways to making planting easier. Tried out the Duc Plow, and it worked pretty well. It wouldn’t work on all soil types though. These were just extras, so I didn’t plant them with any care at all. If I snapped a neck dropping them 🤷🏼‍♀️

Earache 30’ section took about 15 minutes. So it bad at all. Of course, it wouldn’t have been as quick if my parents didn’t help. Always happy to have them help 🥰

I’m looking forward to these 3 sections because they’ll be carrying color rather than solid blocks of the same variety.

I have a cottage garden 🌸

I couldn’t believe how fast we did it. Laid cardboard and paper, spread out the mulch, planned the paths, and planted. We had expected this to take the entire weekend. More time to do other things 🤗

I’m lucky my mom has a massive garden. She dug up and divided soooo many plants. We stopped counting after 100 😅 it’ll take a few years to really fill in, but I love it already.

Not Roundup 😅
Just beneficial nematodes doing pest control the natural way 🌱

I’m applying another round because it got REALLY dry here and the top layer of soil actually cracked. Dry soil = dead or inactive nematodes, so I figured I’d reapply to make sure they’re established and working.

My main goal this year: less cucumber beetle pressure 🤞

My stock is too short and starting to bloom. 😭 This weather has been crazy. Hopefully it cools down a bit to allow the stock more time to grow and have beautiful blooms 🌸

“Girl, we dry.” 🌵💀
— my tomatoes

Finally hooked up my drip irrigation system, and I’m obsessed. Easy setup, customizable, and my garden can finally stop filing complaints against me 😂

This is going to save me so much time once the whole veggie garden is hooked up.

System is from 🙌
Just wait and see the options they have for other plants like onions 🧅 things the year my vegetable garden thrives and not just my flowers! 🌸

Craft paper for w**d block

It works, and it works well! You just need to make sure it doesn’t fly away 💨

My onions would be a pain the w**d if I didn’t have the craft paper down. I use this for quite a few different flowers and veggies.

A Birds Eye view of planting almost 4k dahlias in 2.5 days 🌱

Everybody knew their roll. If someone got tired, we’d switch rolls. The slowest part was simply getting started. Looking forward to seeing blooms. but first, a few thousand seedlings to plant 😅

I definitely couldn’t have done this without the help of my family. Each year, we get more efficient.
