So there was a bit of a frost last night. Took some pics of the bed with the hoops on it to show, and also an update on the Garlic planting that I did the other day. Check the garlic first:
 |
| Gonna be planted in the upper bed, in the four squares right next to the end-most ones.. |
 |
| Holes dug for garlic bulbs, and garlic jammed in.. |
 |
| Those three at the top are actually Organic Elephant Garlic from the store.. just for fun |
 |
| And some mesh over the top to keep the damned dog out. |
Otherwise, here's some pics of the interior of the hoop house I mentioned above after the frost last night. Clearly, the basil didn't like this frost idea at all, and it's totally expired now. But everything else looks OK. Check it out..
 |
| See? Everything else is OK.. |
So, the experiment continues, minus the basil. That basil was a bit more fragile that I had anticipated. I thought for sure that, under the hoops, it would get past a minor frost like this one.. I think we only just barely touched 32-ish.. not a deep freeze by any means. Live and learn. Maybe if I'd had some thicker plastic it would have done better, but too late to find out now. ;) Next year..
