I am now the proud owner of a $320 pile of rust. I bought 20 panels. It should be enough for 600 row feet of trellis, after I cut them in half.

That'll be alot of very hard work, I don't envy you at all.

tryno12 · May 9, 2017

All that's left now is a lot of work..............

Good Luck

Could be, they are substantially heavier. I helped my brother get some last year for a trellis hoop house type thing. I think the mesh is maybe 8" then? Seems to me there better be an 8 in there somewhere.

I like the CRW better in some ways. I like the way it disappears, but it is not nearly as stiff and strong.

I thought the panels were pretty easy to deliver. We piled them atop a 14' john boat still on the trailer, strapped them down, and drove them back to his place.

Johnny Cochran's home was the victim of tragic flooding in the recent rains:

Some of my plants that got into the ground last stayed in their pots a little too long, but are now just beginning to take off. This is a De Barao Red.

I'm doing the best I can to keep up with pruning. I think that I will be glad I did so when my whiteflies come out. When plants are bushy, they hide inside the bush and my spray can't hit them.

Looking great as always. If it doesn't fit, you must acquit...catchier phrase has yet to be crafted.

Cole_Robbie · June 10, 2017

Thanks, Gerardo.

I ate a ripe Utynyok just now in the garden. It was delicious. The plant is dying of fusarium, or whatever wilt I have, but still, June 10th is not too shabby for ripe outdoor tomatoes in my zone.

Only a few of my outdoor plants have the wilt. I think the rest are going to be ok.

I have 3 little ripe Taxi but havent ate one yet. I have a big Mat-Su blushing so I almost want to hold out for it lol. Hope your losses are done Cole, it is painful.
