Moving to the Farm

How many more do you have to lamb. Nice tight season so far.

That is the end for us. We had four ewes and ended up with five lambs. Two of the ewes are first time mothers, one is a second time, and the last is our matriarch and is a seasoned veteran. Couldn't have asked for better considering how last fall went.

Very good year. Thank you for the pictures and YouTube. Almost like being there.

No problem. I was happy to have caught it on camera.

A lot was accomplished this past weekend.

Everything is looking good. I can tell you from experience that keeping your fruit trees wet really goes a long way toward keeping them alive. I'm laying waterlines in my grapevines and blueberries to make watering easier.

Being the 4th year of drought here in California... it takes a toll not being able to property maintain the garden... I've never seen it so dry and most simply use no water outside the home... hope this is not another dust bowl in the making.

My fruit trees are on life support with water from the shower....

Larro,
I am hoping to use my middle buster to run a line down to the orchard/garden area. Then I'll just blow it out in the fall.

Ultra,
I don't envy you. We are getting a thorough soaking right now and having lived in the Midwest I think I have come to take water for granted. Here's to hoping you get rain soon.

The rain has done everything good. I also picked up a few more blueberries and raspberries.

I used the middle buster to open up the trenches for my waterlines. But there is still lots of shoveling of loose dirt to get it down to 9-12". I would guess you need to go deeper than that. I'm leaving my spigots just below ground level. Check out my high dollar covers.

I like your high dollar covers.

Can any of you think of a reason why I shouldn't use black plastic sprinkler line over pex? We will be using the water to water the garden and maybe wash vegetables.
