Looks good. Them dang lemon trees have thorn.

Hell yea they do, didnt realize it till I picked it up to load it

Not quite sure what to expect out of that, might be a bust, but so far seems to be doing ok

Well a little bit of an update, also seeking some advice please.

The tomato plants are taking over. They are blocking sunlight to all the pepper plants below them. I was thinking of removing the romas, or just doing some major trimming on areas that dont have any fruit producing. Its hard to just remove the plant with nice looking toms all over it.

What would y'all do in a situation like this? I would just like a little extra room to plant some new things, which I have some, but they are always shaded cause of toms so growth would be minimal/ slow.... just like the pepper plants under them right now

either way some photos







after some cleaning, tower plants are starting to come around





3 for 3 isnt bad





sign of reproducing going on in GH



some kentucky wonder GBs I planted, they are pole so should ride trellis

Great growth, those tomatoes are looking awesome

Yea I just need to figure out what to do with them to be able to plant other stuff lol

Do they taste as good as your dirt toms? What else are you wanting to plant? You can pull all the suckers and trim all leaves below lowest fruits on toms to a single stem which will really thin them down. Hot weather kinda sucks IMO. I grow the peppers, toms, celery and chard. The vine crops like cucs, melons and pole beans belong in the dirt if yours is good for growing.

Some do and some dont. Honestly most of my toms go on sandwiches, omelettes, hot sauce, etc. Dont eat them straight so hard to be a judge of taste. The grape toms are great and juicy though.

Not quite sure what else I want to plant, I have a ton of seeds for various things. I will probably just thin them out to try to let some light get threw. Dont really have room for melons in the GH, the pole beans were just something to try

Photo update

The lemon tree lost a bunch of leaves at first, but I think that was just shock


Its coming back







Shade cloth is working

On a side note, I am starting a side business.

Can I get y'alls opinion on these holsters please











Outdoor garden

The carbon look is nice. Are these for inside belt or out?

I can make them anyway the customer prefers

Those pictured are all out except for the ruger. It was for a lefty

Sigh I need a more mainstream carry. I have a makarov and the selection I have to choose from leaves a lot to be desired. Are u using the foam press method or a vacum system

The look of the holsters is nice East. The only thing I can see would be potentially uncomfortable would be the prominence of plastic of where the rivet is in front of the trigger guard. I would try to shave as much of that off as possible leaving a nice smooth swooping curve and bring the rivet closer to the gun.

I use a Crossbreed Supertuck Deluxe for my everyday concealed carry holster with a full size Springfield XD45 in it. 13 +1 rounds.

Edited to add: I was thinking yours were IWB holsters. For OWB holsters the way you have them would probably add a little rigidity but still may pinch when sitting. Don't know.

Thanks Wes, big gun for EDC.

I am still learning, I enjoy making them. Have filled a few orders for friends and family. Havent had anyone complain about pinch points yet.

Eventually once I get it down, I would like to make the hybrids as well.

Pretty sad state of affairs if you have to carry a gun everyday. Glad I only have to worry about drop bears.
Ap systems looking good East.
