wine-maker, there isn't much prettier than seeing those clean mow lines in the grass on long runs and healthy green leafs on all those trees. What will you do with all that fruit?-besides making wine, of course. I still haven't figured out what I will do with mine (whenever I get it), besides cider and giving loads of it away to family and friends. Bob, currently I am in the process of mulching whole rows. that will make it way easier to lay down tubing without the worry of mowing over it or burying it. I am in Wisconsin, so I will have to pack it away every fall and roll it out every spring (at minus 30 plastic tubing is extremely brittle.) It won't be fully automated, instead I will put a post at the end of each row with a hose connection and a splitter before that so I can turn on four rows at the same time. With 2gph emitters that's about the max I can run anyways. Otherwise it takes me about 4 hours to water everything by hand. For some reason I seem to be an advocate of doing things the hard way, maybe to convince myself I'm not lazy. I am 33, but my back is telling me I better start finding easier ways.

The cages this year I think. Taxo - That Meta is awesome..... I need to get that one propped this spring. Severnside - thank you. I'd like to jump into the computer screen as well now that you have suggested... That's cool man. Nater - you is welcome! Dax

Wow, how lucky are you to have that kind of view and gorgeous sunsets. Great photos, love the silhouettes with the "fire" of the setting sun in the background.

Really love that second shot, Joan. Great photos, as always. Did you get a chance to check out that photography contest I posted? Suzan J
