We raised Morgan horses in this barn and had a couple of goals here. Wonderful!

Awesome. I just had the horses. And of course, barn cats. Horses and cats were trained to whistle for feeding time

Ours too! Loved having them run in from the pastures for feeding time.

@1BigFella guess What!? They came back!!!
Yes I did plant it a little late but that shouldnāt matter because of the dark period. I usually harvest in late October. Haha thatās not much snow. I get up to 5-6 feet.
So for tonight I put a tarp over the big one and a towel over the small ones

Iām sure you know more about protecting plants from frost than I do! Never had to do it. I guess the ground is still warmer than freezing so it will keep a little tent warm overnight.
WOW! That is fantastic and good to know. I have always known they were hardy plants but this is reall awesome. More respect yet for this plant! Thanks for sharing!

Iām jealous. Best I ever had was 6ā in Florida
Weird! My summer month is way shorter then yours. I did remove the lower branches and planted it 2 feet into the ground maybe, try that next year?
Also used fresh chicken s**t / compost in the home as well, the total depth of the hole was about 3 1/2 feet deep maybe 1 - 2ā in diameter.
The Mothers are in large pots this year. We had a very wet beginning of spring so that delayed their time outdoor. Even the local farmers were late growing here this year.
I really have no option next spring other than pots due to poor soil heavy with clay and staying stealth. My grow partner has taken the most risks for the past year and has done the bulk of the work. I donāt think thatās been fair to her so Iām going to reciprocate next spring
I feel your pain on the clay soil. Thatās why I did a very larg hole. I used to do stealth till I got my license, i tried a guerilla grow on my property down by the creek in pots. It sucked lol. Ended up moving them up to the house. All the dumb bushes kept blocking light so my fan leafs got humongous because the lack of sun. At least I think?
With my limited physical abilities it took me two days each to bury two of my old dogs last month. I didnāt get to bury them as deep as I wanted. I have a place behind my house next to water tap and somewhat hidden. Grew veggies there this year in containers. I may add a small greenhouse there also
Oh shoot sorry to hear about that. Thatās never fun, had my fair share of those days. Growing veggies is always fun. I have been looking at greenhouses on amazon. One is 20āx10āx7ā high and itās only 100 bucks or at least my brain remembers it that way haha. But that seems like a decent deal for a quick greenhouse, has lots of vents a huge door with zippers and tones of tie down points.

Iām going much smaller $40 on clearance. I think I can assemble it by myself
Hereās my location before the watermelon vine totally overran it.
I learned a lot with this experience
Ahh I see. Not very wide there. Iām wanting a big greenhouse so I can frolic down the rows. I have loads of nerve pain. (so pacing is needed lots of the time) from my lower back down to my toes (right side) and my damn butt cheek kills me, itās also shrinking and very noticeable. Now my left side is starting to do it. Canāt win so grow some goodies 
tried to upload a picture of my tomatoes plant but it wonāt load

Small and easy to maintain and easier to be stealth.
Haha this is very true! @SmoknGranny
