I got enough rain to wet my deck twice. It was the kind of rain that carwash owners love.
Well, the rain dots have again connected on my deck and it looks like it is still increasing in intensity.:thumbsup: I was in the garden putting up a trellis net and decided I should call it quits before I got soaked. I've never used this netting before, but I saw it online and bought one 5' x 30' net for around $13.50. I think that is way overpriced and found the same netting on a roll of 365' from Memphis Net and Twine for less than 1/2 the price per running foot. I ordered a roll and plan to put it on both sides of my tomatoes starting bout 2' above the ground. The net I bought was 3-1/2' tall instead of 5', so it will fit nicely on 6' t-posts and my 6' bamboo while leaving a gap at the bottom to till and water without the hassle of cages. I'll use line between the nets where required for support across the row. Here's a photo of the trellis net on one row of sweet peas. I drove PVC pipe into the ground and just dropped in the bamboo poles. It worked great.
