She is very pretty. I read that since they have feathers around the wattles they have very little issue with frost bite. That would make sense as far north as they come from. Good luck.

Email sent to son. We'll see.

Good morning everyone!!

So put my 6 eggs in lockdown the day before yesterday , they were all still moving well i been hovering on and off waiting for pips , well yesterday i was doing some extreme spring cleaning and when my hubby got home he started welding on his home made smoker ....long story ,short a couple hours after he started working on his grill i went to check on my bators and i realized the temp was wayyyy low humidtiy was way up on the secondary therm , so i look at the built in one and it was blank i was like wth!! Then it hit me, luckily one bator is empty i havent set my april hal eggs yet but i dont think my lockdown eggs will hatch :-( my hubby was so sorry he didnt realized he had unplugged my incubators to plug in his welder :-( i got them both plugged in again and the eggs are still in there in hopes that maybe they will still hatch

Good Morning!
Sorry the incubator was unplugged. Hopefully the will hatch ok.

And I was thinking 5 tomatoe plants were too many.

It has been 80 here past couple of days but night and days are too unpredictable here as well.

I'm holding off another week or so for tomatoes. I usually have about 10 varieties (mostly heirlooms) in a 4'X40' raised bed.
The old family truck farm about a mile from where I live now planted 5,000 every year. Tomatoes were my dad's year round job growing up.

My son rigged a neat deal using large diameter PVC pipe. Drilled holes along the length of the pipe, set the plants into the holes, and used a recirculating water supply. Put bird netting over the top. Worked like a champ.

Bird netting is great for berries.
I use floating row cover to keep the cabbage moths from laying eggs on brassicas. I learned that trick in Costa Rica.

Good Morning Everyone!

Had a multi-quote but it went into the abyss.

That's happened to me a lot lately.
Maybe for the better.

Would be alright for a small garden but the fittings would get expensive after a while.

Drip tape is by far the least expensive option of drip irrigation IF row cropping. The tape is cheap but the fittings aren't. If memory serves, you need 100' runs minimum to make it feasible.

For shorter beds, regular drippers, emitters and misters are the way to go.
