To sprinkler or hose, that is the question...

So Heidi was down at the garden and was nice enough to sprinkle for everyone. She said it was great minus the changes in wind that left her book, dog and self a little wet. I myself have sprinkled once but find it very cathartic to hose water every bed individually; this might be because I'm too disorganised to get a book and chair in order to enjoy sprinkle time. It turns out Joanne is also a sprinkle supporter. Which led the 3 of us to wonder, or atleast Heidi and I, what the preference is out there? Sprinkler or hose? Leave your comments below and we'll take an informal poll. Don't worry I won't have hurt feelings if we only get results for the three that have already put in their 2 cents, I'll use my tears to water the beds in any event. Of course we probably all prefer the good old fashion rain method.

Time to get your harvest on...

In case anyone has been too busy to hit the old garden lately I highly recommend bringing a large bucket with you to collect your produce on your next visit. Some may even need a wheel barrow. It looks like everyones peas are exploding, the lettuce hasn't slowed since late spring, beans are showing all over, onions are looking prime all over, the tomatoes are growing by the second and within a few weeks carrots will probably be ready. Try not to let your veggies go to waste, if you are going to be away let a fellow gardener know and they can probably help you out while you're gone. I myself would be happy to lend a hand, especially since I've got the taste for peas now.

An aside, if you have the giant zucchini plant you may want to bring a truck. I think that it is one of the coolest plants in the garden this year; and it has done so well to recover from the crazy hails storms of July.

Good Harvesting!

Some intersting favourites of mine...

Check out some pics from Harvest Gardens. Some of these favourites are just great looking plants, some are prolific producers, others are things I didn't think could grow here, and some I have no idea what they are which makes them all the better.

Fancy grass cutting...

Deanna certainly has taken our garden up a notch. Pretty soon there's going to be a dress code. Check out the pictures of our H H  (harvest hills) community garden. I think it's snazzy!
