What's Undercover?


When I looked at this picture the first thing I thought was *wow* there are a lot of things covered up here!  The row covers are covering all of the beds, warming the soil so we can plant.  The milk cartons are covering up all of the peppers that we planted today.  They are much too large to keep in the house or cold frame now, so they now each have their own little greenhouses.  The white cover is protecting our cabbage, broccoli and cauliflower from flies who like to lay eggs at the base of the stems, which lead to the dreaded root maggots. Then, the black plastic in the foreground, is suffocating out weeds in the new expansion area.  So, there is a whole lot of undercover work happening in the garden right now!  If you would like to read a little on the companion planting I did today head over here.  Happy Monday!
