How is the garden doing overall? Any broad scope pictures?

All is well, we are cranking out lots of fruit, and also expanded the whole operation on a few fronts. I bought a huge gutter connect Greenhouse and have a section up with a bigger section laying all over the farm. We expanded the garden area outside also. I plan on producing on a much larger scale soon.
I have not been able to post much until now, I worked 85 days in a row with no day off most were 12 or more per day.
As for the plant projects we are still working on several crosses, most I am happy with. I am now using Mat-Su as breeding stock back over my favorite beefsteaks. My MSE X Rebel Yell is fantastic, it is early and productive, red, and taste like a good Brandywine. I will cross Crnkovic Yugoslavian, Mariannes Peace, Elgin Pink, and a few others over MSE this year. These will be farmers market tomatoes, if they follow suite after the RY cross, they will produce more than the heirlooms, they are 10-15 days earlier, they are red, others cannot steal my work. LOL I will just redo these crosses yearly or as needed.
Take care Barb, will catch up a bit now, Mark
