They are looking good BT. They are growing fast. When do you think you will be planting the rest?
Thanks, I hope in two weeks I will have some big enough to put in, About 150.
I restarted so many times they are all different sizes.

Just got done planting the bamboo sticks and hooking up the drip line. Now I have to move the well from the other side of the property? It has to be about 4000 ft away and my wife wants me to follow the rock rows so you don't see the black tubing.

As hard as you're working at it you will have a jungle at harvest time, may be the staggered plant will work for you later with the flue curing
I will find out, It Might give me some breathing room, I hope. as long as we don't get a early frost I might make it with the late starts.

BT, your garden is very nice and easy on the eyes. you've got a great start and set up there. I was thinking about the black plastic cover too and next year I would like to do that.
Thank you, Mr Bee. Know if I can only get my wife to think so.

I got the washed out plot tilled in, it took forever to dry out and the bottom is nothing but rocks. The top one half is not too bad for the veggie garden. I have onions, sweet, Indian, and dent corn planted, pumpkins, squash, watermelon, cantaloupe, cucumber, radish, carrots and lots more to go in the peppers and tomatoes will get transplanted when I get done with the electric fence.
The wife already gave me chit for planting too many things. Asked me how many zucchini I planted and I said 5 and she had a chit fit.

Well done. Nice garage; looks to be low on the left, probably from the weight of last year's crop.

Mad, that is a solar hot water system, works Good to heat my DHW and supplement my radiant floor heat.
8- 30 evacuated tube collectors with a 500 gallon storage tank, She can make steam no problem if a pump fails.

WOW what a thought. No sir it is a 50 meg solar aray we did. It is actually ready to retrofit for green houses , Homes and HHO. Would be nice to run one year round for tobacco green house use? Maybe a kiln and cure facility as well. Clean power for clean grow.
