Last week the weather warmed up so hubby decided it was time
to plant his garden. First he went out and dug holes in two of the bales with
this very sharp knife. He sharpened it before he headed out to make sure it
would work. The holed digging was a bit tough to do but sitting on a milk crate
helped. No back breaking bending needed. Then he filled the holes with garden
dirt. He and M planted two tomatoes, 3 cucumber plants and a whole bunch of
beans. Little M wanted to plant more. She is destined to be a farmer like her
daddy. Of course, the weather didn’t
stay warm. Saturday evening we had to cover the tomatoes and cucumbers. The
temp got down to 33 on Sunday morning. And today? Today it is 99 degrees and
very windy. I am afraid our straw bale garden is off to a rough start. It will
be interesting to see how our garden grows. Stay tuned.

crazy weather. We've not tried the straw bale method. I hope it works out and you yield more than expected.
ReplyDeleteWhat an interesting idea! I'm curious to see how it does!
