Planting Bin for my Sugar Snap Peas

Gary built a planting bin for my sugar snap peas. I have planted two sections. I'll wait to plant the third in two weeks so I'll have successive ripening.

We moved my potting bench and tucked the bin behind a tall standard rosemary plant. I still have to paint the bin and will repaint the potting bench.

Meanwhile Gary cut the tops and bottoms off of some orange juice containers so I could use them to protect some small plants a critter has been eating. Here you see my parsley is coming back up again.

Here I have protected my Japanese eggplant which is sprouting new leaves.

If you look closely you can see some of my shallots are indeed sprouting. I am lucking out with the weather which has turned cool and we've gotten an abundance of rain. Thanks for reading and for all your comments.

  1. The planting bin looks brilliant. And isn't new growth a wonderful thing to see? Good luck with repelling the invaders.
