Thanks Chrlie, I try to grow most vegs from seed. I have been getting them from Baker Creek, Peaceful Valley, or Pinetree for the past few years. Tomatoes for me have been mostly a 1 harvest crop for the past 5 years or so. Seems like they get a nice size and all but they fail to continue producing. Usually it gets too hot, too quick during the evenings for them to flower at least here in Ocala. But I am extremely pleased that the drip system works really well especially from 12 to 4 pm or so while the sun blasts them. Here is a pic from today of a patch of Cherokee Wax beans and yellow squash that I am using the drip on. This was taken probably a 2 pm or so. I didn't even want to stand in the sun to take the picture! Without the drip they used to be wilted looking more often than not. We have already harvested 2 plastic shopping bags full of beans from that patch.
