My Tom Thumb lettuce has now been planted in our patio tub along with a stray tulip I forgot was in there. At least the deer can't get at them because of my husband's innovative invention. He made this wood and netting cover to stand over the tub. The top has a wood bar at either end that can be rolled back to access the crops or it can just be completely lifted off. It isn't very heavy.
I planted the spring peas a couple of weeks ago....remember the ones I planted in little pots in my cool greenhouse? Well, here they are in the ground and growing. They will grow up another garden invention. Folding (for storage) pea racks.
Radishes next to rows of growing garlic.
I was not happy with the germination of my onions. The ones that did come up are doing well, but there should have been way more.
Hope you are planning your spring and summer garden by now. I love starting things in the greenhouse and then planting them out. I buy early tomatoes that are in the market places now. Then I bring them home and grow them several more weeks also in my greenhouse. Need to do that right away.
Next time I will show you my new young hens.
