This is one of the 2 raised beds that I will be constructing a PVC Greenhouse Frame the weekend,  Weather permitting that is.  This should extend the growing season for me a little I hope.  And it will hopefully protect the beds from hail.

 

I will keep you updated.Smile

This pic was taken last year.  I had peppers, tomatoes, tomatillo, herbs and other vegies.  Big BUT the temps here in Colorado dropped into the 50's at night so we had a nasty growing season last year.  This year I will drop and level out the pallets and do a 5 gallon bucket/container garden.

 

It is kinda rainy misty dreary today hopefully all is in line for work to commence tomorrow.

Pallets are for vertical gardenening. Straw, coffee grounds, compost and dirt was contained with weed barrier cloth stapled to the back of the pallet.

It is in progress now.  I would include images but they are to large.  Need to figure out how to cut down on the quality to post them.

Pausing so I can ponder how I will fix in place the bottom of the PVC frame to the ground.  I have sprinkler pipe running in front of the bed and another in the bed.  It will take the shape of a 1/2 tunnel.

 

Sprouting the seeds currently in the basement.
