I haven’t hooked it up yet, but I’m under the impression that it runs continuously. Hence sprinkler pump vs shallow well pump. The one I’m replacing is a shallow well pump that had a pressure switch and I was able to run it continuously with multiple sprinkler heads to manipulate the pressure but that wasted a lot of water. This new pump doesn’t require a pressure tank so I’m hoping it’s a better choice. I’m waiting on our typical last freeze date to install , besides I haven’t planted anything in the garden yet. About March 1st is my planned date to install.

Just gotta watch out to turn pump off before shutting off out let, I have blown a few hoses with them.LOL would love to find one that has pressure cut off with out the air tank. I have A red lion trash pump very happy with it.

I ran by and snapped a couple of pictures before I left for work. Last week's 23F did kill some of the young sprouts. I missed the good above ground days earlier in the week, but will drop some more seeds next week.



But the older ones are doing well.

Something cut one of my eggplant stalks clean in half a few weeks ago, I was pissed but now im curious because its starting to bush out.
Slacking with this one, liking the marigolds but I need to chop that half dead basil & pepper plant to make room for chilli peppers.

Burpe ambrosia cantaloupe finally taking off

Wind damaged Sweet corn & pm infested zucchini lol, im going to pull the zucchini and find a more resistant species.

They are easy to start from the top of a pineapple from the store. You just clean the "meat" off it and set it in water. It is too cold here to leave it outdoors year round so I bring it indoors in the winter. The leaves will tear you up though, they are like really sharp hacksaw blades. They take a few years to produce though.

My pineapple is a little behind you guys.



This is the first Aloe plant I have ever seen in bloom. Can I expect seeds?

Some aloes tend to set seeds and some dont. I think the one you posted doesn't really make any.

This was earlier in the week. Just now getting around to loading the pictures. I had to move the too tall tomato plants off the raised shelf in the greenhouse and put the peppers up there. Since then, the peppers seem to have grown more. I guess they are getting more sun.

Some idiot {me} left the hose on for 3-4 days and it washed lots of sand down into the greenhouse. Will clean it up when I get around to it.

Thank you much!!!! I’m a newb to growing bud, but I was blessed with a “green thumb”. Three things I love doing in spring-summer (gardening, drinking and fishing!)

here’s a pic from my current first run from my indoor garden-autos at 28 days. it’s about to get smelly and a little exciting!

Gophers are like underground rats. You could eat it but its not something americans eat. We are pretty spoiled over here.

Mamma's baby brother was squirrel hunting when he was about 12-13 years old. He had shot 3-4 and was carrying them by their tails. By the time he got home the hair had rubbed off the tails. His brother said something about them being tree-rats, and he got to looking at them, and rats was what he was seeing. He never ate squirrel again. It's amazing what a fluffy tail can do for your reputation.
