Two important pieces are:

(1) a 2 7/8" hole saw
(2) a Quick-Change/Release Mandrel. Use the ship to store option, either HD or Lowe's will do it.

You'll be drilling holes into the tube and the plastic containers, and all sorts of other things.

Pssst! Pssst! Here's what I know about Gerardo... He's a good father, he's kind to animals, he's a good gardener and he knows Lake San Marcos!

Gerardo · April 16, 2016

Gracias Deb!

Deborah · April 16, 2016

De nada.

Some have started to blush.

Rebelski Yell would be an excellent tomato name.

Gerardo · April 18, 2016

@ Rshaw: No doubt. Waiting a few days to taste it.

Patiently waiting to see if Rebelski lives up to the hype. Your tomatoes are looking awesome Gerardo.

Thanks HTG. It's a hearty plant with sturdy trusses/pedicels, can't comment on flavor, but growth habit and productivity are impressive.

And copious sun can also mean blossom drop. Hit everyone w DE + Pyrethrin this AM.

CORRECTION TO PREVIOUS POST
Pic identified as Petrovich previously was actually Zyska. This is the real Petrovich:

Volovsko Srce Val. Impressive number of flowers, fruit set could improve. Mostly my fault.

Growth. Some were moved to another tube.

Does the DE spray seem to work? I plan on trying it this year.

Gerardo · April 19, 2016

It stops almost everyone in their tracks. In combo with Neem it can curtail the cycle of a lot of the bad guys. Comes off easy too.

Collateral damage can be significant.

Yeah, many benefits to be had. I don't mind the Book of Eli look to my plants.

I like the look of that Volovo one,it's out for seed production this summer and with all on that new list I think 46,fingers crossed that everything will be great for everyone doing seed production, but then reality sneaks in and I have my doubts.

Carolyn, who does try very hard to stay positive though.
