Plastic Storage Bins As Portable Mini-Green Houses

 Early spring with its rapidly fluctuating temperatures can be a challenge as you’re trying to get your seedlings a bit of sun. Here’s an idea for using plastic storage bins as mini-greenhouses that you can cover or uncover as needed, and you can put them back inside easily while the nights are still cool.

Maybe Cute Isn't Enough In The Garden

I fell for these adorable little pastel eggs one year with seeds all ready to grow.  Not a peep of green!   I'll know better next time.

Nothing from these either!

This Week in the Garden

Less time in the garden this week than the last.  Rain, some crummy virus...bleh.

While scooping the dog's area, I saw this little guy.  Do they predict fall coming early?  Is the all white fuzzy guy predicting blizzards ahead?  Stay tuned.

One of my beans (only one!)  was snipped off, then snipped off some more.  Dastardly creature, stay away from my beans.

See? My Pole Beans (Kentucky Blue Wonder) are ok, and are climbing their teepee.

A new birdbath with a nice sized bowl.  It looks pretty though it's plastic.  The birds and other beasties are really enjoying the birdbaths in the yard this year, so I've been on the lookout for more.  Many are almost flat and hold no water, which defeats the purpose of providing drinking and bathing water.

My tiny cucumber plants continue to grow though I haven't seen any tiny cucumbers on them yet.  They do, as advertised, make a pretty little plant in the garden.

My Big Boy Tomato plant finally has a few flowers on it, meaning tomatoes for meeeeee.  Sometime.

Tiny farm needs a better spot. At least the little animals haven't been carried away by anything.

My little table overturned.  I didn't think it was that windy this week, but I pushed the legs into the soil somewhat after putting it upright again.
