Timely. Just started yesterday. Tomatoes, peppers, eggplant. I don't know what the garden looks like. Haven't been out there since October. I'm sure there is lots of work to be done (sigh).
Yes, but I thought the ones in your photo looked bleached out and dried up. Hard to tell from the photo. Still, one helluva patch of chickens, last year's or not.
Canyon is the one I have. Class 3 now that I've got the right motor installed. Moots Express, if $10K and a non-Bosch Shimano EP801 don't turn you off.
