Posting here has dropped to near zero. Where have the people gone?

Are you expecting something like a tv show called Real Tomato Growers of the GPC type of drama?

I am here sort of. . . No serious plans yet to try for a world record... For that I am getting behind. Need to order root stock asap. The team competition was exciting last year. It was fun. Party is over now and I guess we are the ones too drunk to make it back home...

Ha! I'm usually chased by bears on the uphill, never the downhill. They are suppose to be hibernating! Like a bad dream.
I have a mountain bike race April 6th, and as with my growing I am competitive and go on long uphill rides every week to push my old body. My mind has been mostly on this rather than growing, unfortunately. Ordering the latest bike hardware and gear rather than garden stuff.

I'm around Marv. I check in every day to see what the peeps are up to.
I've been watching the mustard grow all winter in the garden. It's up to 1/2" now! It's been barely hanging on after 4 months. It does not like cold weather but the roots are big. Should be taking off once it warms.

I sorted my seeds so I know what to germinate in April as to not be scrambling at the last minute. I will order a hoophouse next week that will cover most of my growing area. This is the biggest change for next season.
Included will be drip lines and fertilizer dosing.

Hey Chris,
Don’t practice grafting with your rootstock seeds, those are expensive.
If you are going to practice, just use cheap seeds.

I’m recovering from surgery for a torn rotator cuff.
I am way behind on planning this year.
I’m with you on the drip irrigation Rebel.
Part of my plans as well.
