I’ve gotten about four catalogs already @MoBookworm1957 Next week I’ll start planning.
Try plastic wrap will workI have several seed starter trays with the divided cells, 72 cells per tray with a water tray underneath. I don't have any clear plastic tops. I looked a couple days ago and my local nursery doesn't have this size out yet.
Last year mice ate some of my starts, so the plastic tops are an attempt to keep them from eating them, as well as keeping the moisture in.
Thank you. I will try that to start them, but I need something that allows them to grow.Try plastic wrap will work
By the time they are peeking over the tray lip, use a bendable straw to make a miniature hoop house with plastic wrap.Thank you. I will try that to start them, but I need something that allows them to grow.
What a great idea! Thank you. I was thinking that even using some plant labels would hold it up.By the time they are peeking over the tray lip, use a bendable straw to make a miniature hoop house with plastic wrap.
We(Estelle and I) do a lot of simple recycling Science projects at Granny's house.
Using what ever I have on hand.
I am going to give it a try. Last year my broccoli was 18" tall at the last frost date. The Princess is asking for a lot of onions. Last year they were crowded together.I had a schedule on my calendar last year when to do what. It helped somewhat, but then life got in the way.
Doe's are tough of fruit trees. They can be very destructive. With commercial peach trees, dad and i would attend the winter meetings with state extension people, very educational. According to them, fruit trees have nutrient the pregnant doe's search out, especially peaches. The year after dad set out 200 trees he had to get a special state permit to take 20 deer in 30days. They were horrible, dad still had to replace 10% of the orchard.Spending a lot of time thinking hard and making sketches of how and where I'm going to put my greenhouse back up. Also looking at buying a second greenhouse and considering lots of fencing and raised beds. Ordered a bunch of seed catalogs but nothing has arrived yet. Did place an order for some trees, and some special tubes 70" high to protect them. I have a deer infestation and it's already clear everything will have to be protected in multiple ways if I'm going to be able to grow anything.
Deer are my worst nemesis. I planted 3 dwarf apple trees and the deer nibbled them big time. After some years they started to produce fruit. Two are ok but number 3 produces crab apples. Took me years to figure out the deer had eaten it down to below the graft. Most dwarf apple trees are regular trees grafted on a dwarf crab apple root.Spending a lot of time thinking hard and making sketches of how and where I'm going to put my greenhouse back up.

Not to totally lose 7-8 years I am using it to learn how to graft. A "Franken Tree" like Skillcult has would be nice. Just to learn something new.

I've made 10 of these. Used some 2x4 material and some new metal roofing. Not sure of the gauge metal, but it'll last much longer than I will.My seed order from MIGardener came in, and so far one seed catalog. Looking at lots of those premade metal raised beds online, but boy do they want a lot of money for them! Thinking about finding some old barn tin and making my own.
