New Set Up for 2026!

Posting some pics of my new set up for 2026 and beyond. For years I grew about 40 plants primarily in 25 gallon grow bags on the gravel patio that I built for this purpose. I had the same general set up for about 20 years.

​

I am older and my kids are grown, so i don't have their help lugging grow bags and mixing soil and I don't really need that many plants. So I decided to dial it back and switch to raised beds. These have way, way more soil volume and are higher so less bending over.

​

I also formalized the drip irrigation which should make it easier to set up each year moving ahead.

​

I have about 20 plants in the 6 new raised beds. Mostly cherries and slicers. (I have about the same number of sauce tomatoes in another set of lower rectangular beds, which I am on year 3).

​

I am in Seattle, so still early in the season for us. These plants were transplanted about a month ago but summer is just kicking in. But I do have several plants with fruit set and lots of flowers!

​

Also a couple pics of the setup in my greenhouse. I have a few plants growing hydroponically in there. No changes to that set up though, just being a bit more aggressive with pruning and training them so they don't turn into too much of a jungle!
