Its not all boring work and veggies out here in the Victory Garden. A few summers ago I met with members of The Brighton Garden Club and asked if their club would like to help beautify the garden. It is awfully industrial out there, and I felt it needed some beauty. They agreed, and thus was born a fantastic partnership where they plant and maintain a corner of the garden with beautiful flowers.
Each spring the members add some more plants to their corner, making it even more spectacular. And today they came out to work on the garden and add a few more plants. I expect this to be a lush flowery heaven this summer! Above you can see a line of day lilies along the diagonal walking path.
They also added a small cluster of lilies (I think they are lilies - if you can't eat it I really have no idea what the plant is! Sad, but oh so true!) in this edge of the garden too.
And this small green splotch is a rose bush! That should be a sweet smelling treat out here!
After they left, I proceeded to finish working on my irrigation. The above patch will now fit my old 2" hose to my new 3" hose. Its not pretty, but it should work. Still no water, so I can't test it, but I see no reason why it won't work.
And finally, I added the connectors to the new lay-flat hose. See the small green dots? That is where the drip tape will connect. Tomorrow we shall begin phase 2 of the irrigation set-up. We're getting so close to planting; I can hardly contain myself! It is gardening time for real folks!
