There were another green or two that I can't think of at the moment, but am hoping for a good return.
I don't know why I bother with cukes, I have never been able to grow them, but I keep trying.
The tree tomato I am starting in a tray along with lemon and mandarin orange. I also started the asparagus in the tray as I am not sure where I am going to put them if they grow. The rhubarb I started in the garden as it transplants fairly easy. I left the two back corners for extras. I'm always adding something. The last time I tried to start the citrus, they didn't do anything. That was in the spring and it got too hot to fast. Same with the rhubarb and asparagus.
I set up a sprinkler for the top watering until the plants get established. After that it will be just the buried soaker hoses with an occasional top water from the hose. I didn't want to have to water by hand on a daily basis.
The transplanted desert willows did not like being moved. Both of them lost all of their leaves. I have had to cut them back. The smaller one has put out new leaves, but nothing from the larger one yet. Still hoping.
