Stopped by the grocery store and got one more Shisito to put me at an even 12, a second Black Krim and a Marglobe. Couldn't get much because I overspent on the high tunnel & bought the rain gauge. That and it's time to pay monthly bills. I'm lucky that the bills are all separated by a week or so.

Gonna hit it one more time Tues when I get paid. Probably 6 more Shisito and a few more varieties of maters.

I did go get some more 2-3/8" straps for my outer frame for the angled truss bracing. Top one in pic only bigger diameter.

Heading out to start on those now. Still need 14 small 1-3/8" straps to fit the top rail. Bottom one in pic. Those come from Tunnel Vision because there's nothing like that available locally. Chain link fence normally just gets wired to the top rail like so.

If I order first thing Tues morning, they should be here before next weekend. I ordered the end caps Thurs and they were here Monday. Meanwhile, I can start wrapping it with fence so I can stick all these plants I'm getting in there asap. I haven't done a bit of soil prep and the grass is really taking off with all this rain we've had.

I only need one bed down the middle asap. Maters with peppers on one side or both sides. Looks like that can be done and both benefit from basil so I need some basil and of course marigold.
