I am from the Rogue Valley, in southern Oregon.  Here's the Rogue River in Winter.
 

 

 
 
 
It's only 12/15, but maybe you guys have your lists made up already.  Not me, yet.  All I know for sure this season is, no chinenses, and less of everything else.  Might go heavier on the New Mex varieties.

Nice looking plants, I'm liking it!
 
How's that arm doing?

Thanks. Probably one of the smaller grows on the forum. Go check out my Big Poppa UDS on the Smokers subforum. Arm is improving, but might not ever be 100%. We'll see.
 
Yeah it will! Do the rehab, take it from someone who's had his share and probably a few others worth of injuries. They say hard work never hurt a man...NOT!

I live by that.. ;)
 
If you get a chance PM me some blues tabs ;)
 
Take care bud!
 
Nice plants Jim! I see you have some drip line. I was wondering if I could get away with just emitters on main line, minus 1/4 hose. Does it work well for you?

It works well. You need a cheap governor on the valve to keep the pressure down, although I've run the system without a governor. I can't comment on attaching emitters to the main line. Why do that?
 
I guess main line was the wrong discription. I meant the way your running it now. I see a lot of systems were they run the 1/2in hose tap into it with 1/4 in hose with emitters that go to each plant.
 
I think I understand you. You can see the emitters in my photos, right? I've run spaghetti hose off the 1/2" line with individual emitters/mini-sprinklers, too, for each plant.
 
So it begins...
 
Ready for a delivery of garden soil. This is the yard at my office that we greatly under utilize.

They weren't able to blow into the containers even though the gal on the phone said they could. This gave me a huge discount a little over 5 cubic yards for $170 blown into my beds.
Some manual work ahead, but that's ok; I need the exercise.

Looks like you'll have extra soil. More pots? Do you purchase that soil each season, or, add amendments and reuse?

I'm going to take some home to my garden and fill up more pots, but yeah I'll still have left over soil. I reuse the soil ...add amendments. The reason I got it this year is because I added some raised beds to the patio at our office. 
 
At the office: Left to right, Front to back ...

Hopefully throughout the summer they will fill out and their stocks will thicken up.
 
Yeah, I was going to say they looked a bit spindly. I guess they will support fruit since they are staked up. If you get any Aji jobito seeds, I'd like to snag some, if that's okay? Tough keeping the cats out of that nice soil?.

Good growing! The Summer heat will be upon us, soon.
