Very nice! Glad to see the PVC "irrigators" work as well as I'd hoped. Mine seem to be doing well too, even with our crazy weather this year. I don't have any cabbage (yours look fantastic!), but my tomatoes are about three feet high already and have tomatoes slightly bigger than golf balls all over them. They're beefsteak though, so still a ways to go...I can hardly wait, yum!

Eddie that is a voluntary sunflower. The white and red are hollyhawks, in the foreground.
We are starting to get dry on the surface, even after more than 15" here last month. Will keep posted! Tomatoes along the fence are about 5' or some are. Had a hard time setting on because of all the rain but are now. Some, a few about like a tennis ball.

For those of us (me) who didn't catch the first part is this underground PVC irrigation or what? I have two acres I'm considering for subsoil irrigation so if underground what were the details...

That's a beauty right there, I don't care who you are...

Very pretty! The first one reminds me of a Colonial kitchen garden (as seen in Colonial Williamsburg).

I see (thanks for link to original thread) so you pour water down the pipes? What I'm considering is burying a grid of pipes just below plow depth and the water delivered form the well via pressure. Sort of like drip irrigation at the root level.
