New update: Things have been going a bit slow because of rain and the fact I only have part of one day a week to work on it.


I dug this trech for the water tube with a flat head shovel. I would just jump on it and pry up the grass and flip it over. That way I just lay the pipe and flip the grass back over and I'm done!


I bought this 2 Zone water timer at Home Depot for $40. It's very simple. It uses 4 AA batteries and lets you set how often you want it to turn on and for how long. The only little problem is if you want it to turn on at 7 AM, then you have to program it at 7 AM. I bought a 2 Zone because I'm going to biuld a seperate Herb garden which I think will have a different watering schedule.


This is a shot inside the shadehouse. I first wanted to put the plants on shelves but then I decided to hang all of them. I figured bugs would be less of a problem. I need to add more beams soon.


I've got three in bud which should flower shortly. The first is a Eplc. Volcano Trick 'fireball'


This one is a Bc. Little Marmaid 'janet'


And finally a Brass. Jiminy Cricket
