The pleasant illusion of cows at pasture standing on the roof of the barn! (Pasture is just garden you grow just for cattle!) Not Wisconsin, but some straight up pastureland. (Get out your Scythe!)

5-14-2022 Pictures of Greens and tomatoes (here, Celebrity) that have been growing under the low tunnel garden fabric/insect barrier since mid March:

The tomatoes are too large to cover any longer. I did put the covers back over the lettuce 1/2 of that row and the row without any tomatoes. (It stormed over the weekend.)

(From Mid March)

This garden is in a sheltered area with a fence and a road to the north. It is on a hill top so less affected by cold. . I used a light weight insect barrier which provided enough protection and day time heating to promote growth. There are garden fabrics that provide additional frost protection down to 26-27 degrees. (Search Agribon garden fabric.)
