I used my furniture moving blankets to cover the beds with a section of landscape timber to act as a short tent pole.

A New Year, 2012

My first posting this year is to put last year away. I did have a very good late / winter garden with great broccoli, cauliflower, beets, and cabbage. I spent most of the 2011 gardening year recovering from a total left knee replacement.

On January 30, 2012, I planted sugar snap peas.

Stay tuned for 2012.
