Basil

The garden installation in Faribault was a bit of a rush this spring - moving to a new home in Minnetonka, fishing season, travel, etc. In the end the implementation was short of the plan, but the results so far have been good. Here is a pic of E the herbstress holding a very fragrant bunch of basil.



And some recent pictures of the whole thing. One of my favorite things about this setup is the automatic drip watering system from DripWorks. Drip emitters for individual plants and drip lines for rows are controlled by a timer. I can be away for days and not worry. It was fairly easy to setup, reusable and dependable. I just received another system for the deck at our new home with special piping features for individual planters. I just need to find the time to set it up before our next vacation.
