RE: Making the Winter Gardens: Building Tiny Greenhouses from Old Junk Makes the Garden Look Like a Junkyard!
Very innovative and quite fascinating. Love the re-use of anything that works. As you say, saves money, and it WORKS. Very trendy gardening indeed.
I had some Collards a couple years back that finally got to over 6 feet tall. They withstood some pretty nasty weather, but then again, the leaves are like an old shoe. But as you say, greens all winter are absolutely priceless. I need to make some houses like yours, as I'd love to have a bunch of Kale this year. Better get on it. Thanks for sharing your gardening skills. Have a nice night.
I'll bet it's not too late to start kale, and it grows pretty quickly-- it won't be long before I start to thin these rows a bit. I'm hoping the greenhouse will speed up their growth even more, but I found a bunch of dandelion and dock that had dared to sprout this late in the year, so the fresh greens are already happening.
