It was another busy morning at the garden! Blanca, Ben, Iris, Linda M, Marcelo, Susan, and Gabriela were in attendance, and Akiko stopped by for a while.
In addition to the usual weeding, harvesting and watering the areas outside the irrigation system, Blanca arranged the tomato plants inside the cages and tied them up. We also planted eggplant, pepper, leek, and Brussels sprout seedlings donated by Hilltop Hanover Farm (THANK YOU!!!). Linda brought the weed tea that Els had brewed for the garden--we will probably use it as a soil drench but did not get around to applying it yet. Gabriela applied more vinegar-based weed killer to the poison ivy at various spots and checked the compost bins. We also took care of some of the containers with failed seedlings: the soil went to the potato pots; Marcelo and Gabriela cut the cardboard containers (along with a wet corrugated cardboard box) and added to the pile of "browns" for composting.

Its been nice to see your work :) Really appreciating,You may have need proper emitters at each plant. Each emitter 'Emmit's' a definite amount of water, depending on the style of emitter and also the behavior of the plant like you planted peppers, eggplant they need some water. Every plant has a basic requirement certain amount of water. Most of the time the plant you planted in your garden need two of the emitters to give it enough water from your watering system but even sometimes three.
