Still tossing some ideas for some row coverage or critter guard, but a little more difficult with the supports, would need to be taller. Could leave top open, but than can’t use for frost.

Yep that’s part of the plan, will need a new timer/splitter though. For now I just manually turn it on or just every second day. Will need to see if there’s any drought restrictions too, because we were limited to two days and only certain hours to water last year. So kinda did it irregardless of the forecast to still be able to do it within required guidelines.
Is it a blanket watering restrictions on your region, or just lawn watering? Some areas only limit watering lawns, crops are fine.
Maybe consider a rain barrel too? Hook it into the system to water during restrictions.
Im moving this summer and only growing a single basil plant, so I'm living vicariously through you to plan my garden in the fall!
So the city actually has great Resources and I love it. To answer the question, yes and no… using sprinkler is a blanket no, doing it by hand is fine.
I actually just installed 2 rain barrels! Will need a pump to use with the soaker, but the City recommends (again great for resources I find) and I’ve seen comments here and elsewhere to not use on food. So I’ll hand water flowers with them.
Haha that’s unfortunate, but moving to place with a decent yard/garden atleast!? I’m trying to post frequently without spamming or being annoying.
Those are some great resources.
I'm moving to Kingston, ON. The place has a big yard, and my goal is to have no yard.
It's part of Frontenac Arch biosphere, so I get access to four botanical regions for native species to pick!
