Let's see i...Don't be confused about zones! Let's see if I can explain this. A zone is made up of similar plants in a similar condition. So one zone would be trees. Another zone would be the vegetable garden. Drought tolerant plants would have their own zone. Plants living in full shade would be on a different zone than full sun plants. Everything on one zone will get watered at the same time so you want to make sure only similar plants are in the same zone. You don't want to water your trees every other day with the veggies and you don't want to stress your veggies by watering them on the same schedule as drought tolerant plants. Does that make sense?Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05607208465219962573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5733417645352174190.post-18535148114143832302011-01-06T17:07:49.695-08:002011-01-06T17:07:49.695-08:00@ Rachel - i looked at your irrigation stuff and y...@ Rachel - i looked at your irrigation stuff and you lost me at "zones" :) I will have to buckle down and concentrate. ack! btw, goats hate to be milked in the rain. i don't like it that much either.<br /><br />@ Nicole - you are funny. but i say, go ahead and blame nature :)Heidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13263795936437012313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5733417645352174190.post-78250502647416710542011-01-06T16:32:23.203-08:002011-01-06T16:32:23.203-08:00Heidi, your list looks so much like mine! I'm...Heidi, your list looks so much like mine! I'm also feeling a little bummed by the lists that litter the house and never get checked off. It hit me yesterday that I'm a terrible gardener and messy to boot. I keep telling myself that once I get that damn pine out of the backyard it will all be better. Yeah, that's right, I AM blaming nature for my ineptitude. Thanks for sharing your goals!Nicole Kramerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09651894547243362593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5733417645352174190.post-9073920523767370832011-01-06T14:45:54.941-08:002011-01-06T14:45:54.941-08:001. I need to start making lists. I've got some...1. I need to start making lists. I've got some much to do around here that it's easy to just "forgettaboutit" if it's not written down.<br />2. For keeping records I simply use Excel. 4 columns - Type; Quantity; Unit Cost/Savings; Total<br />3. Srsly awesome! I've been considering doing this as well, but don't have much of a demand for it up here in Vallejo.<br />4. We also need some new fences. Our neighbor's mastiff keeps pushing out the boards on our old fence. I'm just not looking forward to replacing 250' of wood fence. <br />5. Yay! I'm considering telling the guy we're hosting bees for to come get them and then set up our own. We're going to set up our own anyways, but his roughness with them has been causing problems for us after he leaves. <br />6. Let me know if you need any help or have any questions.<br />7. Squeek will find them for you! She's really good at that. She hasn't killed very many though, but she did get a big fucker a couple of weeks ago. <br />8. You know the garden planning series I'm reposting on my blog? Yeah, I've got an irrigation series too that I'll be reposting. But in the meantime you can go check it out under the Gardening Tips topic. <br />9. One of the things I need to put on our non-existent list is building a cover for our milking area. Um, yeah, milking in the rain doesn't sound so fun.<br />10. Yay! What kind of herbs are you going to grow?Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05607208465219962573noreply@blogger.com
