Initial Spring Time Work

Some of the plastic is now up. Days that are low wind have been hard to find, so the plastic is being put up in small stages when there is a weather window of opportunity. In this image the plastic does show some of the dirt from storage, but after a few rain storms this should wash off.

Notice that there is no "roof" plastic. This is because instead of one large sheet three are used, two on each side and then one central "roof" plastic piece will be put on. However, this is the largest and most difficult so not only does the weather need to cooperate, but having access to a few extra hands is also welcomed. just in case😉

Also, behind the plastic that can be seen is insect netting so that when it gets hot out, the plastic can be taken down from the sides, to help air flow, but also still prevent insects from just flying into the planting area.
