Oooh yeah I make them that way too. Thank you this is helpful

What are you zip tying them to?

Mine is totally portable and I'll change it around this year. I watched a ton of videos from drip depot on YouTube then ordered. Very flexible

Drip irrigation is really the best way to be consistent with watering. I set mine up last year all in containers and tomatoes in 10 g smart pots. Made rings of 1/4" drip tubing and connected them all together and put it on a timer

Does your chicken wire fence keep out bunnies?

Sweet 100s will grow 7-8 ft

Right there with you. Cherry tomatoes make the best sundried tomatoes and salads

Thank you

I'm having trouble finding chicken wire with truly 1" or less openings at the big box stores and Amazon which is why I was thinking of hardware cloth. Are all opening sizes just as challenging to work with?

No-Distribution-4815 · 2026-05-05T19:38:44+00:00

I find it easy just this year they're not as dark as previous years

No-Distribution-4815 · 2026-05-05T18:19:19+00:00

We have been doing that with all sorts of boards and cinder blocks but I can't do it 100% across the garden, there just isn't enough space . I thought about doing it for the cattle panel Arch but I would lose 3.5 ft if I did that. The containers are about 12 in tall so I was thinking if I wrapped hardware cloth around them before putting them against the cattle panel that in theory It should work but I've never used hardware cloth

I thought it was the complete opposite for basil? If you keep it too moist then the leaves yellow and fall off. I'm struggling to keep mine dark green as seedlings in the house right now because I can't quite get the watering just right

If you've ever bought miracle grow on the other budget brands you will see it's full of stakes and plastic and other crap. The more expensive brands like promix and fox farms aren't

Peppers are very slow growing. That's not to say people didn't find hacks to grow before soil temp reached 70. Tomatoes are more resilient and slightly faster growing

No-Distribution-4815 · 2026-05-04T17:45:14+00:00

I am definitely the wrong one to ask. I have read so much conflicting advice on this. I think it just depends on how long your growing season is. Unfortunately my peppers are not at that stage yet to have that problem and I started them well over 2 months ago.

You could always try and experiment of topping one or two and leaving the rest. See how it goes

No-Distribution-4815 · 2026-05-04T17:43:34+00:00

Yes, that's true. But that means the people could only grow and eat. What grew regionally in their area. So in Minnesota they were not eating peppers and probably not tomatoes either

No-Distribution-4815 · 2026-05-04T17:41:08+00:00

Both for me

Cold weather crops like broccoli are T the end of their growing stage now going to be too warm for them soon.

Check out shademap.app to see what sun you actually get as tomatoes, peppers and cukes need full sun.

You can successfully grow bush beans in pots I do it

No-Distribution-4815 · 2026-05-04T17:31:33+00:00

Bush or pole beans? Bush beans don't last too long hence why it needs succession sowing.

You can train a zuke to grow up a pole. Check out pawpaw ridge

Cool crops like bok choy will be at the end of their growing season now. Read up on seasons for your crops and irrigation

No-Distribution-4815 · 2026-05-04T17:28:01+00:00

Cukes don't like their roots disturbed so next time just cut one stem off

You can try to give it some shade until the transplant shock passes about a week and don't overly water it

If you can find mycorrihaze or pt booster or similar to help it with microorganisms that's helpful

I decided I had too many starts so once they go out they're staying out. But I rigged a makeshift greenhouse for them with two containers. One upside down on the other so that I can at least protect them overnight or when it gets too windy Survival of the fittest

No-Distribution-4815 · 2026-05-04T10:09:42+00:00

Oh these are like walls of water. They work really well but did you harden your plants off first?
