Yes, I thought Kate's pic was splendid as well. Wish my seedlings looked that good. Mebbe it's the beer glass pots that do the trick? CW, is there barley left in the bottom as plant food?  Bunkie, Ed did a fantastic job of resurrecting the structure! |

Umpqua broccoli (pete's favorite!)...first year for this variety, and it's still producing in several days of 90 degree heat...  pete telling me there's a weed in the broccoli...  cole crops...started putting that netting up, but failed at keeping the sides down. yet...so far, the brussel sprouts under the net are doing very well...there's always next year...  brussel sprouts forming...  struggling sweet potatoes.....  rows and rows of potatoes......  |
