Our apologies for the lack of updates. It has been a busy and very rainy few days so not much gardening has been going on. We have transplanted the rest of our little seedlings to larger pots: some are thriving, some not. About two weekends ago, we did plant in the big bed some sweet peppers (bought), tomatoes (that we had started), and some basil. During that time, we have had two frosts so around 9 pm the night before Dan and I run out with a stack of boxes and placed those on top of plants. It seems to have worked, that extra bit of protection.
The same weekend we planted, we also spent a lot of time cleaning out the other beds. Right now, they're filled with those maple helicopter/spinner seeds - I've never wanted to cut down a tree so bad in my life. The beds look like little spinner graveyards.
Whenever the sun comes out again, the plans for the garden are building up the small bed with another level of wood to add depth. We will also be building up the netting. Right now, we have rather short bottom pipe (about two feet tall) and we want to bring that up to the same height as the big bed, about 4-5 feet.
