Here's another random image from my farm, in 2006 I got this for my mother for her birthday:
It sits at the base of the hill my orchard is planted on. That is a picture of my mother and Jake laser etched onto a piece of stone then inserted into the bigger stone from my farm.
I like your garden. Been considering putting fabric down? What do you use? Do you plant things like onions and green beans, etc. through it, or just plants? Love a nice garden!

Anything that grows from a single stem (tomato, pepper, etc.) works great with the fabric. Things like radishes, carrots, etc. just doesn't seem to be worth the effort.
Using the fabric cuts down on water requirements a LOT and reduces weeding by 90%
I've been slacking on my garden duties that last year or three. It doesn't help we have a very large farmers market 1 mile down the road and they grow it all there. I can go get anything I want in about 5 minutes :)
I finally got my redneck foamer working. I was having trouble getting the fitting to seal on the gas can. I didn't want to epoxy it, because it might need to be taken apart in the future. So I gooped it up good with silicone and ran (4) short self tapping screws through the neck of the tank into the PVC fitting. Worked like a champ. Here it is on my 1st test run:
The foamer made it a million times easier to spray the field. It seems none of our fields are square and it's rare the rows are where you expect them to be. It always makes perfect sense when planting, but never when you are spraying:
I finally found an easier way to post pictures. My android automatically uploads my pictures to google, so all I have to do is look through my gallery and post whatever looks interesting. A heck of a lot easier than uploading individual files. The only thing I don't like about it is if google changes something and breaks my links I'll be ticked. When I upload a file it's on the server forever.
