So Hodge, I was wondering. Do you use a backback sprayer for your plants. I have a one gallon and Im pretty disappointed with it. It has a remote nozzel. Going to spend the extra cash next season and get the nice backpack one.

Mornin' Hodge and all!
I need to 2nd riznob's comments 'bout the garden as it should be an inspiration to all, novice and expert alike... Very well done indeed. Rarely have I seen anything that would compare to my 'mental benchmark', which was burned into my mind many years ago. I had a buddy from HS that went to Humboldt State back in the late 70's, and when I went for a visit he took me to a friend of his in the woods. Well, lets just say that his friend was familiar with growing, and you can imagine the rest. All we could do then was take a couple of lousy Polaroids to remember the place which I had for many years... lol Perhaps I now have a new mental benchmark.
Kudos as well for your commitment to the thread, candor, and willingness to share to all, which is just as impressive as your garden and certainly attracts new members such as myself.
Alas, there is however a downside to this thread. After looking and reading here, it makes my paltry (2) little plant annual grow (which actually look like yours, but only related to level of maturity, lol), look... Well, ummm, pathetic comes to mind. <stated with tongue firmly planted in cheek>
Bottom line, way to go.

I have a 2 1/2 gallon hand held, works fine. Just replace the seals every couple of seasons, my gardner has the backpack style. Works really well but he uses it for weed control, (Round up) so it's off limits with my garden.

Cool. Home depot sells some pretty nice ones for under 100 bucks.
I just went out to see my girls and spent 3 hours picking leaves and small signs of mold/rot. Girls are just so THICK one leaf dies inside and starts to rot. I can only imagine how much care yours need.

Thanks!
Because of my disabilities, I have help with the leaf picking. In my climate there's less chance of mold due to weather, main problem is caterpillars and the damage they do. We did get some powder mold in the other garden this season but traced the infestation back to some clones that one of the workers brought in.

Both you and your wife are great growers! It was a lot of reading to get here, but it was really interesting. The trees are beautiful! It sounds like you have been through a lot in your life and you are still so humble. You have a great outlook in life and it seems to me like you are getting rewarded for it. I will be here for the chop!
