My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

no hardening off

20 years ago

For the last 3 years I have skipped hardening off my tomato plants by planting tiny 4 leaf plants inside walls of water the first week of April. I wouldn't dare plant without the WOWs until the middle of May. So far so good. They just keep right on growing without any transplant shock.

I've also succeeded in planting broccoli from seed the middle of March in WOWs.

Sure saves lots of transplanting and problems with wind.
