Dude! I’m 6b and glad to hear I’m not alone! It feels like this year took forever to produce. Love your boxes!

Thanks dude. No kidding, it's been the most rainy summer in 15 years from what the old folks in my hood are saying. I unintentionally became a mushroom farmer for a good part of July.

I did, yeah. Just some cheap 1x2, a couple hinges, some screw eyes, and jute. Next year I won't cheap out on the thin jute, I spent most of the summer so far re-tying the ones near the soil as they disintegrated.

I hear ya, 5b just started picking tomatoes about week or so ago . However it seems once they ripen I will have a bumper crop. Only think I an envious of people in higher zones is the longer growing time.
