Looks good! I always seem to have a problem with beans.

[Big Al]

hi stucco, thanks for your comment's i'm not having problem's with bean's but i can't seem to get consistant sprouting of pea's they are very hit and miss. i can't get cucumber's to sprout from seed directly in the system either. but everything else seem's to do just fine so far through the summer so we'll see this fall and winter. good luck to you thank's Big Al

my last cuke died last week.. i think it was a bit too hot for them
still planning out the indoor winter build.. ugh

[Big Al]

hi keith, nice to hear from you. you are probably right it has been very hot this summer here then inside the greenhouse even hotter. so thank's for the thought. good luck on your plans for your indoor system. thank's Big Al

Hello everyone, it's been crazy here my kid's just finished the regular golf season last week 2 match's
and 2 practice's. my daughter qualified for ohio state sectional's so she had to practice all weekend
for tommorrow's tournement match. they both play for the school and we only have a boy's team but
she did very well this season and qualified for boy's state tourney's. so back to football for my son the
football team is doing very well they're 5-0 so far this season. i'm so proud well enough glotting things
have cooled down considerably here the 90 degree day's are probably done. it's only been in the 60's
the last 3 day's with rain forcasted the next 3 day's. we just about have everything needed for our 2nd
system build should begin building this week depend's on well golf go's tommorrow for my daughter.
here is photo of our okra blossom's they are beautiful to look at.
