That should do it. Last summer my TWC got full sun nearly all day long, except for the first 2 to 3 hours in the AM and it did not stop producing bit it did slow down a bit in Aug. However, the full sun in Aug did take a toll on the foliage. Dried up the leaves faster than I could water the plant.

Nice to see a back yard go to good use once and awhile.

I planted the third row of 19 tomato plants yesterday February 29. I hope it doesn't take 4 years for them to mature

I potted up pepper plants - it took all day.

I have more room i think im going to build a three tier garden on the other side

Zone 8, DFW, is about time . Maybe with some caution !!
But All you have to do is to get some cheap 3-ring cages ( $2.99 a pce) and wrap them with clear plastic. You can use them later for peppers.
Good luck ye'all !

13 all in. Im just a home gamer compared to some of you guys. But thats my new raised bed 6X12. The chicken wire is temporary to keep the rabbits out. I put it up quick but will make a more permanent rabbit defender when my lower spine starts working again.

I hope so. Learned a lot in the last 2 years thanks to people like you and many others on tville.

Salt, I started all of these on New Years Day from seed and they got bigger than I thought they would in 8 weeks time.
Hopefully we get some favorable weather to better the outcome.
Im also looking forward to how some of these varieties actually look and taste. The Charles Herring Porter is in the mix and I am really curious to see how well and how long it produces into the season.

Ozone, you have good gardens. I like the soil.
I think you timed it right and should be rewarded.
