Looks like you've got a great project happening and that you're creative enough to make it all work. Somehow I can only see the thumbnails at the moment but I'll check back to see if they load later. I want to see how you've suspended your net Oh and the plants - I love to see plants in different climates. Congratulations and hiya.

Great intro post!

thank you both @Hound Heaven and @addy1

 

[Mmathis]

Yes, it can take a season (or 2) before the plants take off.

 

[GBBUDD]

Yea agreed @Mmathis most plants will multiplybthe first years but won't fill out and truly get established for a couple years
