Preparing for frost...
'Tis the season to prepare for frost. Temps are getting into the 40s at night. In order to protect the last of my growing veggies I wanted to try making protective domes. Following the SFG method, I bought two PVC pipes per box. For the cover I chose a thin plastic tarp. I realize that a variety of things can be used as a cover (burlap, blankets, sheets, row covers, plastic). Right now I only have Box 3 covered. I still have a lot of clean up tasks to do, which include removing the tomato plants. Hopefully I can spend more time in the garden this weekend and finish prepping my plot for the fall temps!

I have plans to do this with my raised beds this year. Going to Menards this weekend to get the materials :) I'm doing it more for starting plants early than keeping them late - but that may change as I use it next year.
Looks all cozy! We had about a week of deep cold winter weather here. My garden is all done now. Time to clear it out and dream of next season!
