The lettuce and the snow peas are done, the swiss chard seems to be still alive, but not doing anything progress wise.

While I was taking it down I cam across a lot of good materials for re-purposing, which I will put to good use at some point here soon. Among those materials were a few tent poles used for ceiling supports.
