Got some beds planted this weekend not finished yet but a good start. I'm waiting to after this weekends little cold front before I set out my pepper plants & tomato plants they look pretty good in my green house no need to throw those babies in the cold a couple more days won't hurt anything. I'm working on a new Tomato rack, (read about it and going to try one) If this tomato rack works as good as it should I will replace it with some cattle panels and cement post for a permanent rack structure, now I'm using some old landscaping timbers and concrete wire mesh, we will see. I was going to post some pictures but "where's my camera"?, lost #2 so far this year. Grady(GT) |

I've got some tomatoes & cucumbers planted already-and 1 hot pepper. I still have some seedlings I haven't put out, too. Supposed to be 39 tonight!  I think this will be the last "cold" front. (crossing fingers)

Aren't we supposed to rotate our crops and not plant the tomatoes in the same spot every year? |

Yea, I Know slap my hand,slap my hand. this is why I'm using my old stuff(wire and post) I was waiting on you to remind me that I was asking for trouble. So with the what took you so long, I will move it each year. That concrete wire is rough to handle hanging from post. my arms look like I been in a Cat fight . Will this be too much work ? but when it comes to my garden there is never too much work "yea right".see what you started You got me talking to myself and answering, If this rack works I will set up a cattle panel rack that would be easier to move. but digging the post is the bear. In thinking three cattle panels end to end on each side wound be easier to un-screw than pulling those fence staples out of those landscaping timbers and watching that concrete wire trying to roll me up at any given minute. The cattle panels are about 25 bucks each (last longer tham me) no rust or scratches and look neater also. post would be 10' 4" x 4"'s about 12 bucks each, so figuring 6 x 25 =150 and 7(8' spacing)post @ 84 more dollars. I need something to last a good 15 years using two times a year helps with cost or does it?. So my salsa would be about 15.00 quart given seed & fertilizer. I got to stop thinking now I'm getting lazy. Grady(GT) |

The $64.00 Tomato, GT! Read that book a couple years ago-really funny, and makes you wonder how much your vegetables are really costing you. |
