My garden in 2020
This year is really special. All May low temperatures, especially at night. Now, in June, it rains again every day, storms and torrential rains. Something grows beautifully (grass, weeds, cherries, salads, peas, etc.) and some of it can not recover, especially fruit vegetables (tomatoes, peppers, eggplants, okra). I'm trying to fight the bad weather. I have made four new glazed portable frames, in which I plant vegetables to withstand the coldest. I move the frames from one bed to another as needed.
For example, in March I planted peas in one frame (approx. 2 m) (today it is harvested, it was a lot of 5 kg), then I moved the frame to kohlrabi in April (I am gradually harvesting them now) and now I used for eggplants and okra. It is a paradox that I devoted a lot of work to making watering easier (I installed a tube with holes connected to a bucket on each bed) and it is still raining and I don't need to water. Will I use it in the summer? A few more photos of what it looks like in my garden this year. Vladimír |

Nice setup, and I like the large open space. I see you must be such a dedicated gardener to be lugging these large frames around ;-)

Nothing grows much. I have a flower bed with nine zucchini plants, I have four plants loose and I put a portable glass frame over the remaining five. The difference is striking. I'd probably need a retractable roof over the entire garden. Like they have at Wimbledon. : D

Looks great, and it seems you will get some of a harvest.
