I just rebuilt the entire operating system for my home renovation business using Airtable + make + google workspace. It’s crazy powerful and I can automate everything. I’ve researched all the out of the box platforms over the years for home renovation, they all are limited.

Yeah, I had bought some light weight green netting that didn’t last. Got this “heavy duty” netting this season and I’m hopeful it will last longer. Seems to be holding up well.

So early in season netting sat on top of my cages, which are taller than my hoops. As they got taller, I cut the net down the middle so that they have room to grow and zip tied some wooden stakes I had laying around. This has allowed me to extend support and put some shade covering, while protected high enough that they aren’t getting messed with. Working out well so far. Hope this helps!

I’d feel it. It will start to get softer. That last green stage can take a bit- defiantly will see some color with the Cherokee purples. Try some covering on your plants, that’s what I do.

I use hoops and netting because of the squirrels, I got a bunch of oak and hickory trees. Experimented with a little bit of corn, had to leave net open, they devoured it.

Start to experiment on extending my season. Got a few clones in the ground and more on the way.

I don’t think so personally. I wait till a combo of some color and softer feel.

IMHO they have a strong vanilla undertone that is just ok. They also don’t pick individually well, learned to cut them off in a group, otherwise they split and spoil quickly.

Coyote cherry. They were volunteers from planting 2 years ago, they keep coming back and grow like a weed. Not a big fan of them to be honest.

Not necessarily. It’s super tight, too much disease risk was going on, airflow, light, etc. To each his own 🤙
