Still hoping my gardening venture will bear some fruit ;)

These are the 4 inground tom's ...... Still young, looking good, and you can see my attempt at the florida weave.

I started having doubts about the support system, but everything was looking okay for the moment.... I kept telling myself, "I'll just tweak the system and add more support later, it should be easy enough!" (boy did those thought's come back to bite me in the, you know what.)

This was after that nasty storm came thru, no real damage but definately showed me how poorly my support system was thought out,lol.

I tied them up with more twine just to get them off the ground till i could get more poles. It was only about a day or two till this nasty stuff seemed to take over the lower half of my plants....

I've since removed as much of that nasty foilage as i could (didn't want to strip them bare!) and treated them with liquid copper fungicide. Today i spent the better part of the day undoing my sad attempt at the florida weave, adding poles, tying, then adding MORE poles, and re-tying. For all the effort, it looks a mess.... and i'm just hoping it doesn't all come tumbling down in a sad little heap.

On the other hand the tom's in containers seem to be doing ok :D Once i realised i was overwatering and feeding ;)

A few days in....

The container Zuc seems to be growing happliy. There's even one growing on it.... but don't know if it will last because it bloomed when there where no female flowers.
