Hi – this is an invitation to join the Garden Bloggers Retro carnival. I don’t know if you’ve ever come across the concept of a Blog carnival – if not I’ve explained it in detail on my site today (Oct 1). But basically the idea is to revive an old post which you think is worth rereading, or which you think new readers might enjoy. Send me the link to the post, and in November I’ll publish a series of posts describing and linking to all the posts people have nominated.
I hope you’ll join in and we have a fun carnival!
Sue

Just the Black Brandywine, Mom? I really liked the Green Zebras, too. Did you have any luck with the others?

We also enjoyed the Black Brandywine and will definitely grow them again next year,

Hi Delilah! We bought the pre-packaged deck watering kit from Lee Valley Tools, although you can buy all the parts separately from Home Depot or someplace like that. It was easy to install: just measure out the length of hose you need, install corner joints, and insert feeder hoses for each container. Each one has a little dripper on the end that you can set anywhere from a slow drip to a full-on shower. We also bought a timer so that it would go on automatically early each morning - it was a lifesaver! You can go away on vacation and not worry about getting someone in to water. Highly recommended. Here's a link to the deck watering kit: http://tinyurl.com/2shc8u

I’m so interested in your drip irrigation! What and how? You installed it yourself?
