Actually, tomatoes are easy to grow from seed. Unless they're hybrids.

In 2023 I also grew Bonnie Big Boy Tomatoes, they pumped though never got over about 4-5 foot tall.
I use 4 foot x 7 foot (6x6) concrete reinforcing WWM (w/ ends wired together) for my round cages @ 4 foot tall, what are you using?
Have fun w/ your garden A Guy

I got these this year as I really overtaxed the short ones last year, lol

They are both hybrids, but to be honest for $8 and ready to go into ground it's too easy :wink:

If you haven't had Sun Sugar they are fantastic. Super sweet and great in pasta salad if they survive long enough, lol. I eat em like candy so they can go fast :)

Worm castings and soft rock phosphate in hole and mixed with the soil/compost backfill. Slightly below grade and will cover more of the stem as it grows. Now the wait begins...

That's is an excellent system you have there @Hardreset

What did you have before the 420 pp? How does it cool in comparison?

Third rocket is almost done. Time for the clear semi-gloss coats...

I am very tired of pulling weeds so one area that is awkward to weed I am installing 80SF of landscape fabric. Also 10 feet of concrete edging (set in concrete) & 26 feet of 8” DeepEdge plastic edging. Plus 3” of Shredded Western Red Cedar topping.
Premium 5oz Landscape Fabric, 3ft x 50ft Pro Garden Weed Barrier

Anyone with that many pipe clamps handy.... gets my vote.
Reminds me of my younger days.

Thanks Ghot & all the others for the Likes.
Here is the finished job $335.00 later.
I'm hoping to get at least 6+ years of weed barrier from it

Edit: Oh ya, it took 10 hours outdoors to complete over 5 days.
Not bad for a 75 YO fit man.

Enermax liquid III 360 , for temps test , I use y-cruncher 0.8.2 , old AIO did 86c high and 82c low with max fans on , the 420 - 77c low to 79c high , low fan speed , watts use are from 250 to 259 with 0.8.2. , but use the benchmark 2 to 3 times a week .

That may be my next cooler. Especially if my EK nucleus 360 dies.ools like EK may be in hot water, though their nucleus series is excellent.

Have to use the contact frame , which is not that much better than STOCK frame.

Thermalright is the better one , but Artic frame has to be used , part of the installation , hopefully they will make a revision .

Ambient 26-27C. I have it throttle at 85C so I am sure it throttled some.

Edit: Oh yeah, this was with hyperthreading off for the 8 p cores. I have been experimenting with HT off and Forgot.

I purchased this Corsair PSU since it was 22% off. It's much better than the PSU I currently have in my system. I bought it in preparation for what I hope to be my birthday present from my wife this July, which is an ASUS Dual GeForce RTX 4070 Super OC Edition Graphics Card. Here's the PSU:

If she doesn't get me the ASUS graphics card, I guess I'll be forced to get it myself!

I've had a few purchases this month, culminating in a new AIO CPU cooler.

First, this:

PULWTOP Powered C USB Hub,7-in-1 USB C 3.2 Gen1 HUB 36W with Last Port PD20W Output Charging,Aluminum USB Splitter and Individual On/Off Switches

Actually works to isolate Type-C devices with functioning on / off buttons.

Next, a pair of these:

Kingston DataTraveler Max 256GB USB-C Flash Drive with USB 3.2 Gen 2 Performance, Black

For carrying capacity. One stays with me the other stays at home as a backup.

Also, a pair of these:

SAMSUNG MUF-64AB/AM FIT Plus 64GB - 300MB/s USB 3.1 Flash Drive, Black/Sliver

One for my printer (Brother MFC-L3770cdw, which has the USB on the front face, and in which I've been using a normal, long UFD since I got the printer, and have almost, but never quite, damaged the UFD by bumping into it), and one for my PC as a permanent storage device.

Then, there is this replacement:

Intel Killer BE200 1750x & BT 5.4 Wi-Fi 7 Card

My mobo (MSI MEG X570 Godlike) came with a combo Killer AX1650x + BT 5.2, and the BT seems to have died. I can revive it with the power off and unplug and let it sit for 10 minutes, but it invariably fails again. I did buy another brand first from HighZer0, this one: Intel BE1750x Killer Series Upgraded BE200 WiFi 7 Card - but it failed miserable, system would not even boot. That has been returned already, and this one arrives in a week.

Finally, with all of the shenanigans of trying to replace the Wi-Fi + BT card, I also ended up breaking one of the posts for my NZXT Kraken 360 Z73 AIO cooler. Totally my fault, but it was serendipitous, in that the new Arctic Liquid Freezer III lines were out, and they are a lot cheaper than the (current gen) NZXT Kraken Elites:

ARCTIC Liquid Freezer III 420 A-RGB

Ordered it Friday, got it Saturday, installed is Sunday, and back up and running yesterday.
