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.

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.

A cast-iron waste-water pipe that ran from the garage to our sewer line backed up the first time we ran the washing machine. The plumbers came and started excavations for a replacement line. With all the activity on our property as of late, the gophers have given up and left for fairer pastures.

Today I finished connection my irrigation valves to electronic controllers. I've one for the patio, one for about 90 herbs & vegetables in the backyard, another for about 60 fruiting trees and vines on the side yard, and a life free of watering duties!
