Well... a bit.

Yeah, I didn't have a lot to put into things today in any case.  Still, I did begin fiddling with the faucet, and I did go looking for, and found, the parts I will need for drip irrigation, minus some inline disconnects.  Oh, I didn't find the connection from the system setup to the line.  Then I did a bit of research, as much as concentration would allow, regarding how to assembly the line, feeder lines, and such.  I am a bit nervous, not finding much out there.  Before I go to the hardware store for the faucet needs, I want to be thinking about what else I might need or want with the irrigation system.  I know I want the disconnects, but I would also like to run smaller lines to the plants.  I'll have to do some reading.  I am guessing that would be about forty feet, and some of them are hanging, so elevated a good five feet.  And I'll have to tinker with the drip rates for the various pots.  I just don't exactly know how to design the main line and feeder lines.  I have a rectangular garden, perhaps 20' by 50', though, of course, I won't be using all of that.  I have six tomato plants, about that many pepper plants, give or take, and I would like to put in three rows of root vegetables.  Width, not length, rows.

I am not sure if I should run hose to the garden, 'L' that to follow the length of the garden, then put runners from that up the rows, or if I should run a straight line (give or take) along the width, and... no, that would work.  Reading is difficult today, and what I could do wasn't fruitful.  Oh, some of my tomatoes have a 50 day to fruit, if that can be believed, so I might get some tomatoes.  Optimal for canning?  Doubtful.  The root vegetables might be just fine into some minor frost, so there is that.  I think next year I would like to get cucumbers in the mix, maybe squash too.  Depending on some things.  I'd like to figure out how to use the full garden, at least with crops that will last the winter in a cellar, or otherwise can or can be cooked a bit and frozen.  Practice, practice, fail, practice... We'll see.

Zapped.  And it is about 21:00.  Close enough for my calculations.  I might have gone to sleep even earlier but that can't always happen.  Oh... I did look up something that I am terribly curious about because of a recent meal out... tempura batter.  The only odd thing it requires is soda water.  Odd for most, unless they buy it.  I can make that.  No problems.  I'd like to practice.  And, if I get jalapenos this year, just open those up, fill with some cheese or other, add a tempura batter, and deep fry.  Seeds and all for my tastes... probably.  Sometimes those buggers get pretty hot though.  If I ever start making enough of those to really count, I'd like to dry a couple of bunches... perhaps even figure out chipotle.

Good night.
