New house, new chapter
In a few weeks I'll move into this 1100 sq.ft. home in Vista CA on 1/4 acre. Plenty of room for bananas, fruits, vegetables, and ... in the few months of cooler weather it is amenable to hydroponics.

Congrats! It looks nice now, but it'll look great after you've had your hands on it a while.

Re: New house, new chapter
Congratz Richard. Looking forward to see what you lay out on that 1/4 acre.
Especially want to see how MR and RL low chill cherries do. I'm still skeptical about mine. Dan |

Re: New house, new chapter
