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.

My question is I am in west central MN and I will have indeterminet plants what would be the best way to keep about 30 of them up off the ground? and what kinda space should I plan on them taking up? I still plan on growing my viva italia's as they have been good for canning as I make about 150 jars of salsa and need them all done at once. plans so far for plants are pink brandywine, mortgage lifter and oregen early any other good suggestions for cold north
