JustSumTomatoes, I'm thinking of getting some Deep Chunk to run next season. If I don't get to them, I will have them in my library anyway. Thanks for stopping by my friend. Peace
Star crash, that is how I do it. Once money comes into play, then quantify and time can easily override my original goals. This way the meds I donate are properly grown and cured. I'm not compelled by any other factors to rush or change anything. I can explore many soil compositions, genetics(flowering times). I can freely cull any plant for any reason and money isn't a consideration.
I feel I can do a better job of growing and learning this way. Plus the people I help are strapped for cash often times because of an illness. Being able to freely give my best to them. Is good for the soul.
Peace brother

My mom has had vegetable gardens as long as I can remember, and she always has a perimeter of Marigolds around the entire garden. She swears by them, and rarely has bugs chewing on anything.Awesome greenhouse, FL! Lots of things being done right here.
Only thing I might do different at this point is to start a cover crop in each pot before transplanting. This ensures you’ve already warmed up the engine before the plants take a seat. To each his own though...you gotta do what works for you.
I’ve also heard that planting beneficial insect plants like marigolds near the trees will help with insect suppression/diversion, but I have no direct experience using them myself...just taking in observations from others.
Speaking of trees, how tall is that ceiling, FL? Some of those varieties I see on your list are gonna be big girls for sure...you’ll be crawling around in there to prune in no time, lol. You could always top them, I suppose.
Best of luck on the season!
