In my eagerness to get my SFG growing, I may have planted a
little early. But here in Texas when
spring arrives, the temperature warms up quickly. I wanted to make sure there was time for my
early, early, spring crops to mature before it gets too warm.
Since my last post, the weather in Texas has turned COLD and
RAINY. Last weekend the temperature was
scheduled to drop below freezing, so I rushed to protect my baby plants! With a square foot garden this was a simple
task. In his book Mel explains how to
make some simple frames from PVC pipe. I
was short on time and did not have time to make the frames. Because my plants
are still young I was able to cover all three squares with a piece of 3 mil
plastic. We weighted the platic down
with some scrap 2X6 blocks so it wouldn’t blow away. It worked perfectly.
We had to put the plastic back on tonight. Freezing temperatures forecast for early
tomorrow morning.
Come on spring! I am
ready for some dry and warmer weather so I can plant more squares. I hope to plant some sugar snap peas,
spinach, lettuce, and radishes as soon as we have a good day.
