FROST, TRELLIS, RIBBONS, AND COOPS.
Here is a brief recap of the week: As predicted, we had several more frosts and had to keep covering and uncovering the plants with sheets and blankets, checking on them, worrying over them. But despite that, everything continues to grow! The garden is full of peas, chard, kale, lettuce, potatoes, onions, and garlic. We trellised the peas, mulched the berry plants, direct seeded beets, and dug rows for our tomato plants. The cold frames are full of herbs and celery preparing to go into the ground. Yesterday, we started lettuce, squash, cucumbers, and cilantro from seed. I ripped a bunch of fabric strips out of the aforementioned sheets and blankets and tied them all around the fence (super scary deer defense, I know). Jesse nearly completed our (100% salvaged!) chicken coop, and Wendell got really dirty.- Hannah.
