Ah, the Zinnia!
So much beauty from so little effort!
When Spring is here for sure I’ll be dashing haphazard into a little gardening- like I do every year. Oh, I’m also watching all the Green Acres shows, would like to find some BLT sandwich seeds...
Say, did anyone try that upside down clothes container as a semi-greenhouse for greens trick that was on here last fall?
I bought the container and a bag of soil but never did anything.
If it worked for someone I can shame myself into doing it next year.
Thanks for the thread!
“Say, did anyone try that upside down clothes container as a semi-greenhouse for greens trick that was on here last fall?”
I did! I had greens growing in my (unheated) greenhouse until December 23rd this year using that idea!
I moved a bunch of lettuces and spinach that I had growing indoors out there, today. It was 82 in the greenhouse, and I closed up and covered up everything this afternoon when the temps started to drop. It’s 25 degrees out there right now (I have a remote thermometer hooked up to the greenhouse that I can read in the kitchen) BUT all of the plants are protected by that additional layer of the upside-down storage tub, SO if the cold air doesn’t TOUCH them, they should make it.
This is an experiment for me on the flip-side of growing greens in there into the Fall/Winter.
I’ll report back. I took pictures to post tomorrow. :)
P.S. I’m in Zone 4/5, SW corner of Wisconsin.
