The weather finally turned a couple of weeks ago, after our April snowstorm, and I have been busy with bed prep, seeding and transplanting. It’s wonderful to finally be working outside!
Since the weather outlook was promising, with temps staying above freezing for the most part, I spent some time this past weekend hooking up the drip system. Of course, things didn’t run as smoothly as I would have liked. A vacuum breaker fitting that my husband left on one of the hoses had corroded and essentially fused with the hose – my bad as I forgot to tell him that any fittings should be taken off the hoses before storing.

The faucet is a strange size (larger than usual) and requires specialty fittings.
The fitting that is fused to the hose is the only one that will fit and it was a PAIN to source.
