It took me until the end of June to get my drip irrigation system up and running, but with all the rain we received in the beginning of June, I didn't really need it.
I have a main line running around the perimeter of the garden with soaker driplines running to each plant. The way the driplines work is there is a small hole every 6" or so that puts out about 1/2 gallon an hour.
In this picture you can see the dripline wraps around a tomato plant as well as a special breed of Marigold called the "Golden Guardian". These marigolds are apparently really good at zapping the bad nematodes in the soil that attack tomato plants. It's the first year I've used them as companion plants, and I have to say so far so good. I haven't used a single pesticide on the tomato plants and they are very healthy so far.
Highspeed Photography, trying out my new Canon Speedlite 580ex ii flash
Filling up the glass, drop by drop
My idea for this photo was to catch the droplets of water that were coming from ice hanging over the side of the gutter. If you enlarge the picture, you will see a droplet of water so small it is barely visible, off center left.
My third drip, and i think this one was for the morphine button. That was sooo cool. made me tired too :D
This time I was trying with some pictures in the background.

I have seen drips and drops done a gazillion times... and wayyyyy better than this, mind you. But, here's to trying something new. ;-)
What day am I at?? 10/365
My Dad never fully turns off the tap so every night I hear this drip drip dripping sound coming from the bathroom! I'm used to it now, but it really used to get on my nerves!!!
Little April Shower - from Disney's Bambi:
Drip, drip, drop
Little April shower
Beating a tune
As you fall all around
Drip, drip, drop
Little April shower
What can compare
To your beautiful sound
Drip, drip, drop
When the sky is cloudy
Your pretty music
Can brighten the day
Drip, drip, drop
When the sun says howdy
You say goodbye right away
Drip, drip drop
Little April shower
Beating a tune
Ev'rywhere that you fall
Drip, drip drop
Little April shower
I'm getting wet
And I don't care at all
Drip, drop, drip, drop
I'll never be afraid
Of a good little
Gay little
April serenade
This song just got stuck in my head when I saw the mist hitting a pond at the Como Zoo Conservatory Fern Garden.
Many people have asked for the black and white photos I have hanging in my bathroom. My mom got two of them for Christmas, and asked for two more, this is one of the two I got printed up for her.
