This picture has so much value to me as a farmer and gardener even more than the fields of flowers that will follow. First; husband. He’s the most important asset in my life plus he’s great at all the mechanical and engineering projects where I’m better at the grow. Second, though, is Infrastructure. It’s what streamlines my time and makes my life and work so much easier! We started a HUGE irrigation project in 2024 and finally installed an automated sprinkler system plus robot mower for our lawn, had a hiatus year last year with a family event and are back to work this season to complete a 24 zone system for all our planted areas on the property. Farm and landscape. It’s a huge undertaking. But it will automate ALL my watering. We were operating on a much smaller zonal system previously that worked incredibly, it was just way too small, so I was having to feather in lots of hoses, sprinklers operating off timers at the hose bib etc. And the set up and tear down every season was such a time suck. Now it’ll be an app on my phone for the entire property. This right here is a dream that’s finally coming true!
