I've used the clips that come free with the t-posts to attach the panels but I'm also not planning on moving them around although I don't think it would be much harder to take them off when needed.
We thought about using those, but opted for this to prevent possible sliding. I think they would have worked too. We also put the panels about a foot off of the ground to make weeding easier so we really wanted to make sure the panels wouldn’t slide downwards. Thanks for the comment!
I always use over grown potatoes with extra long eyes, and i have never had any issues. I usually got 25lbs of potatoes for every 3 plants. Which for us is amazing yield!
Awesome I’m glad we’re not the only ones! A few years ago we just stuck our overgrown potatoes in the ground just hoping they would be find and we are definitely glad it was not a problem.
I’ve planted gardens for many years here in North Carolina,,,elevation 1800 feet over sea level , the fastest and best tasting cucumbers I’ve ever planted are called this variety,,,,crunchers ,,,,and they trellis very well ,,the variety of tomatoes you should try is ACE - 55 ,,they grow in clusters like cherry tomatoes but are eight ounce slicing tomatoes and are quick from plant to harvest.
@@MontanaMidValleyFarm those crunchers are unbelievably delicious and so fast getting ready ,,sweet n crunchy not bitter at all , no need to peel them the skin is micro thin ,,and as for that variety of tomatoes,,all I am gonna say is ,,if they grow good in your area and you get some ,,you won’t believe how uniform the size and taste very good variety,,remember to not prune or sucker determinate tomato plants and do sucker indeterminate tomato plants ,,,if they disease or blight spray as soon as you notice,there are videos on you tube what and how to treat diseases
The best tasting and fastest squash you will ever plant is ,,,summer crooked neck yellow ,,this variety can bear edible size squash 46 days after planting the seeds ,,I’ve done this many times.
Thanks for the suggestion! We might give those another try as we’ve had them in past gardens. I think maybe the last time we planted them we let them get overripe and then the plant quit producing. With our experience we just never got very many to make that variety make sense to plant again.
Are you guys close to Missoula/Frenchtown areas? That is where I am and I am doing my very first full fledged garden this year, so definitely looking for tips!
Hi! No we are more central, Helena area. We plan to post more this year and the gardens are expanding so it would be fun! Good luck! You will have fun and learn so much! Our biggest advice is set up a drip irrigation system and use a hoop hoe (also called stirrup hoe) to make weeding easy if not using weed mat. Then again there are a lot of helpful things that come to mind. Just have fun with it!
@@MontanaMidValleyFarm Thank you I really appreciate it! Okay so you are "kinda" close but definitely a drive! If you are going to do any public tours I would love to come see when you guys are established!
@@Breannanpr23 I’m not sure if you are interested, but we are considering trying out a you pick model to sell produce this year. If you are interested in getting emails about it or just being in touch reach out at montanamidvalleyfarm@gmail.com
Thank you! Drilling holes in the T-posts was a bit challenging. We sharpened the bits after they got dull and powered through the number of T-posts we needed. If we did it again we would probably weld something onto the T-posts since we ruined a bunch of bits too.

Thanks for the suggestions. I will add them to our seed list! Really appreciate the cucumber recommendation as we are searching for a good variety.

That’s great to hear about the crunchers. Thanks for the insight about both varieties!
Y'all really expanded... Sooo many tomatoes in the other garden... How much space do y'all have?
It's kind of a running joke between us that we keep expanding. We only have 9.5 acres total, much of which is a hay field.

What a great job! Is there a trick to drilling holes in T-posts? I broke several cheapo harbor freight bits trying to do that...

Harbor freight Bauer bits are good. The warrior bits are garbage.
You guys are cheating you’re using water hoses
