4 inches is a lot. We're getting some heavy rain with pea sized hail at the moment.

I was just about to look up insect netting for my new Bok Choy/Tatsoi fixation. Such cool looking plants, nutritional, easy to grow with some caveats regarding bolting when it gets warm OR when it gets cold. Really weird and seems to depend on what part of Asia their from. They would look a lot cooler without holes in the leaves though.

I was out there at 2pm and did a taste test. Not the best time of day but probably means something. Chijimisai was the best. Cross between tatsoi and komatsuna and it beat the tatsoi right next to it. I've had komatsuna before and it beats that at the mid afternoon, grab a leaf and eat it test.

Don't know if I'll ever grow it this nicely but I'll try. I love veggie porn pics and Baker Creek is good at it. All it needs is a nice steak sitting there.

I hope there's still one of these left after I get wiggle wire, track and plastic.

New unit from the manufacturer is $370. I need an analog input module to read what position the drop down sides are at so I can do 80% closed etc. Without it, it's either 100% open or closed.

Seller has "more than 10" and these controllers don't sell quick because they're not a consumer product yet they're not full blown, well known industrial name either. Stuck it on my watchlist and I'm sure it will be there when I'm ready for it.
