Small Steps

A little more progress on the garden today.

Bought some strawberry seedlings, which I planted into a big pot.

I have also constructed a type of home made greenhouse, thingy, from clear plastic and timber stakes, to protect my tomatoes, until the weather warms up a bit.

I have no idea if this is going to work, but figured it was better than (a) leaving them to die in the punnets, or (b) planting them out to be killed in the next day or so by frost.

I have planted them into big pots for now, and will transplant into the garden when they are bigger and frost is not such a big problem.

Not sure if I should punch some air holes into the top of the plastic, to help it breath? Will monitor over the next few days and see how it goes.

I am also going to do a similar thing, but over the garden bed, to protect the pumpkin and zucchini, but have to wait till our fence is up (hopefully tomorrow) or the dogs are likely to trample them :(
