That's ok, I thought you can use the idea for yourself and if you want, to share with others in your clip. Also another idea, I get a lot of wind here from the sea all around us (live on a stormy island)so I use old TV glass stands ,I take apart the TV stand and use the thick heavy toughened glass as wind breakers here. The plants suffer less stress. Old TV stands can be picked up from the rubbish tip or very cheap in charity shops. I got the idea from seeing old Victorian garden pictures where they had little sheets of glass to protect the plants, using thick toughened glass will last longer and if you do fall over I hope they don't break so easy and if they do break then they shatter to tiny pieces, ordinary glass can cut into shards. Difficult getting glass with wire in it here. Door toughen glass is thinner than TV stand toughen glass. Either stand them upright or form them into triangles type for covering plants, like a house roof.

A greenhouse takes up a fair bit of room so I use large clear really useful boxes, they can stack on top of each other. Protects my plants against the prevailing winds, butterflies (don't worry, there are plenty flowers in our garden for the butterflies and bees etc) and slugs. I punch a few holes at the top sides of each box for ventilation. Much cheaper than a greenhouse, no glass so safer and can grow a lot more in a small space due to stacking the boxes. I thought you might like to try this out and share with others. ?

I've been using the Garden Planner software for 3 years, and today is the first time I realized that adding the "grow cover" icon to my bed plans actually changed the planting schedule! Cool insight!

At long last discovered that growing Leeks in my 1 4-6 hours direct sunlight garden bed was the perfect veggie after years of disappointment.
bought a childs $10 plastic swimming pool & cut drain holes, use it to grow replacement Leeks. When I pull a large leek, the next day come back make a 1-1/2" hole 3" deep then drop in a previously started Leek which is generally 6 to 8" tall. Never back fill the hole, instead allow the sediment to gradually backfill & the leek will root in the bottom then grow in circumference to the size of the hole. This method lengthens the length of the edible white portion growing a thicker Leek.

I enjoy all input, I have had gardens over the years however this year I will have a lot more time to dedicate to this project. I am starting what I am calling a Recovery Garden. This garden once its ready for planting is for the benefit of recovering addicts and alcoholics. One's that are struggling financially, going to school, single moms, seniors for example. This is not a free handout they will be asked to help with the planting, the weeding etc. Their reward is of course the produce. Any produce left over will be given to organizations that provide free meals. This is the first year we are looking forward to this 100ft -100ft garden. We welcome any suggestions and input. Have a great garden this year.
