Excellent work, Gerardo. Keep these pictures coming. I am probably 2 weeks from planting out. Weather here is just not cooperating this year.

Hang in there, it'll cooperate and before you know it it's caprese salad time.

We used to go to Tijuana and Ensenada back in the day (80's). I grew up in
Whittier, CA

No worries. Garden is on the MX side. I do 2 plants in each container, it holds a little under 5 gals. Fertigation allows me to get away with smaller volumes. Eventually they go full kratky and break through the bottom and into the tube.
Those towns you remember from the 80s are long gone, replaced by a large sprawling beast. Ensenada has grown a lot, fortunately it has room to spread its legs. Here's a little trivia fact: the largest municipality by area in the Americas is Ensenada. It covers over 50,000 km2!!!!!!!! Over 70% of Baja California Norte belongs to Ensenada.

Lots of sunblock, and mostly working in the evenings helps a lot. I'm sure my neighbor's are tired of hearing me pump my 2 gallon sprayer around 11 pm.
