A thousand things.
A removable frame for roof for green house in the winter.
A place to hang netting for cucumbers and such.
Troughs to grow lettuce and so forth.
Something to hang off of when reaching to the middle.
Looks better along the drive.

Overhead spray for seed sprouting.

Thanks.

Looks fantastic. Enjoy Spring!

I need a "like" button for this post.

And a list to get my name on after yours.

Worth, that looks really nice. Great job.

While looking at the pictures, I thought, carrots would love growing in that soil! I just planted a lot of root vegetables yesterday and today.

And for dancing...

I am going to do something like that too. Thinking of building a structure that doubles as a frame for cover as well as trellis for beans and squash, on my 4X20' bed. Do you have a peaked top frame or just flat, Worth?

Nothing yet, I cant make my mind up so many ideas have came and went.
I would like to do them in removable polycarbonate panels but they are expensive.

They would need to be peaked because they are along my drive and need to look nice and the leaves would com off easier.

Thanks everyone for your kind words.

Worth,
Nicely done my friend! Looks great!

[Stvrob]

That looks like a fun garden to work in!

Your idea of a removable cover would make that almost a year-Round use bed. Looks great and looks like it is certainly built to last. Very nice!

Worth, you're gonna love going out your back door and picking peppers for each meal when you cook. You can munch on that sweet banana while you admire all its roomies.

You've got a lot of room in there. I'm not familiar what you grow there at this time of year, but you have space to interplant some fast growing veggies between your pepper rows. I had all kinds of fillers in between my main crop. Worked out to be a good bonus.

Enjoy!

Gypsy pepper?

Joking of course''' I've never heard of it. Must be one of those newfangled F1s

I do wish that Guajillo was a pepper that is more openly available. I plan on growing it and sharing seeds.

[Worth1]

I raked up a few leaves to use as mulch because it is free and the worms needed something to eat.
I dont know what else I can do with these critters but wait and see what happens.

Lisa both beds are right along my driveway out front, so it would be the garage or the front door I would have to go out by.
Out the back you would have to be a mountain climber.

I thought about other crops and if I do it will be runner beans along the back row.

Just a wild guess but what the who.

Worth

If you mix a equal volume of pH 4.0 and pH 8.0 solution you will get pH around 4.3, but with solid mix who knows?
