Ugh... My house could burn down, and I probably wouldn't feel half as bad about it, as losing my garden gear.

If you see some local nursery using it, or some local landscaper (the more likely), try to get a contact. I'd also be interested to know what it goes for in your area. My buddy gets 45 yards of it at a time delivered, and goes through that in 2-3 months. But I can't get him pinned down to buy into a share of it, so you can see where I'm going with this.

And so it begins, time to get the fall veggie grow going. Here are a couple of pic of my tomato seedlings.
First up, Tomatoberry.
Pretty In Pink Tomato.
And, some Waltham Broccoli.

Forgot to add my White Vienna Kohlrabi.
Also on the evening of the 16th I planted some Kossak and Konan Kohlrabi, Megaton Hybrid Cabbage, Snow Crown Cauliflower, Goliath Broccoli, and Shanghai Express Gogi Berry. I am seeing signs of life already.

Fairly windy here today so a few avocados blew off. They must be about ready, only a couple hundred left on the tree. I better start looking up some recipes, and I better get the good ol freeze dryer set up and ready for action(will have to run some 220v wiring for that).
Also have Papaya starting to get ripe now.

A little update on the veggies. The tomatoes are doing very well so far.
I planted out some of the Broccoli yesterday.
I bought 4 cucumber starts from a local garden store and planted them in a 30? gallon tub. I will put up a trellis as soon as they start vining.
I decided this morning to plant out my first Tomatoberry tomato plant in a 18 gal container.
Good timing, first roots just going around the bottom of the 4 inch pot.
And potted up with some wind and sun protection(dont you just love those cat litter jugs).

The Cucumbers are growing rapidly, today I have to remove the protection tubes while I can still get them off and then put up the trellis for them.
One of the guardians this morning making sure no bugs invade the bananas!

Be ready to defend the cukes. Caterpillars, spider mites, and powdery mildew, all love the traditional varieties down here.

I actually started growing burr gherkins because of this. Couldn't find them until ShowMeDaSauce hooked me up. If you'd like to try the, PM me.

Trellis ready for action. As soon as they grow just a bit more I will start fastening them down.

Going totally tubular, man! My latest somewhat of an experiment to harden off some of my veggies seemed to work out pretty good so I even carried it over to some peppers. The Mountain Dew bottle tubes cut out enough UV so I can set them out in direct sunlight. By the time they are sticking out of the tube they are hardened off it seems, but do have to give them a little drink every day because at 90+ I think it gets fairly hot. So far has worked awesome on the cucumbers and broccoli, I have some cabbage, cauliflower, and dill starts in some now.
The first Tomatoberry potted up is growing fast!

Planted some peas on the 5th.
They are coming up today.
About 30+ tomato and pepper cages in the early phase. I had to leave about 75 of them behind.

A little veggie update today. The cucumbers are still growing well.
The first Tomatoberry is now over 2 feet tall.
Broccoli in front growing well, Pretty In Pink tomato plant behind it.
Papaya tree, crooked 3 ft tall pushing some fruit!
Update on the peas tomorrow and I just planted a tub with 1/2 Daikon Radish and 1/2 Bulls Blood Beets with a divider row of red onions.
Later today Iwill do a tub of Bush Beans and a container of Long Beans.
