We are going to have watering restrictions. I ducked them for the garden last year and it didn't produce enough to pay the water bill for it. Going to put some sweet potatoes with soaker hoses in raised bed on the back lot where I was supposed to plant wildflowers today. (no sense wasting space just cuz sweet potatoes can't be planted til mid may)
and I will have soakers for my asparagus and grapevines. I am intending to put wildflower in the former garden areas in the next day or 2 when I can dig out the grass and weeds. After the wildflowers are done, and any areas too dry to even try them I am going to just clear and cover and mulch. I can water my foundation and my trees and a few flower beds by hand daily, but drought veggies are dry tough and deformed and tomatoes are splotchy so no sense putting in.
I have heritage tomatoes in the greenhouse learning to get wet feet. They will move to the pond tray when the weather is warm enough. I might throw some peppers in a flower bed or right next to the asparagus, and I might put melons around the asparagus so that no water is wasted. Cantaloupe is thrifty, and both it and watermelon finish early enough to not be an issue. Not sure I will have any squash this year, takes up a lot of room. Might do yellow, probably no zucchini, might do buttercup or butternut again surrounding the asparagus bed, and I may add a lot more compost and mulchy stuff to help hold the moisture. but from 1/12th of an acre the garden will be shrinking to about 15x15 feet. The asparagus prefers fairly dry feet and even survives in high desert in northwest New Mexico. I wanted to grow beets and I usually grow chard but I think the chard will be going on the pond and a bird guard will be going over the plants when they go on there.
