hi keith, yes the last month and a half or so has been crazy. we got flooded at our shop there was 2' of water
and 3-4" mud everywhere. it took about 8 days to get back up and running. so were way behind.
i had a pump that was going bad in my bluegill tank during that time and didnt catch it until it was to late.
lost 240 of them. so i guess im a getting closer to being a fish farmer.
i have some new stuff going cukes, peas, green beans, beets, spinach, lettuce, microgreens, strawberries,
all new this year. my lemon, orange, lime, tree's dropped there leaf in january but i saw that there forming new
bud's this week. family is doing fine thank's for asking. i'll get some picture's soon. later Big Al

Citrus trees aren't supposed to drop their leaves, atleast not all of them. I have a lemon and grapefruit, have to lug them in every autumn. The lemon, I bought in Florida one year, the grapefruit, I started from seed. In the 6-7 years I've had them, they never lost all their leaves.

I never knew that about garlic and it was a cool lesson that I have just learn and BTW Big Al that's an impressive green house you got there! I wonder how something like that would hold up here in Arizona and how hard would it be to keep the temps reasonable here I'm guessing I would have to use a swamp cooler for a bit to cool it. I was kinda thinking I would have to build a traditional style or what not with vents that way I could open it up to let out the heat not to sure going to do a bit more research sorry for being long winded again impressive build !
