I have spent every quarantine weekend in the yard and it's been magnificent and extremely rewarding. We had previously built raised beds but had limited success due to lack of regular watering so my first priority was repairing my entire drip line system and then extending it to the beds. Success!

Glad to hear others have garden / yard side projects as well. best of luck with the harvest.

I have a different approach. I water the raised beds, with a hose. I guess whatever gets you outside in the garden, is good. As they say, the best thing for a garden is, the gardeners shadow.

I will be watering with a hose as well, at first. If I waited until I had a drip-line system in place, I wouldn't have enough warm season left to get very much yield from whatever I managed to get planted. But I absolutely do intend to spend time in the garden. Gotta keep watch for weeds and check the various veggies for ripeness.
