Pottering in the Garden






Our gardens are looking really good. One of our local garden suppliers dropped by a couple birch trees for the last garden bed and admired our little bit of Eden. I beleive I am justifiably proud of our garden. We put just the right amount of thought and work to get the lush green crowd of flowers, fruits and trees that I adore. Over the weekend Chris and I put the plastic on the greenhouse frames for one of our raised beds in the backyard. We want to achieve ripe Windsor Broad beans and the only way to get that in the Yukon is a green house. Our nights are so cool that beans often won't set pods and pods they do set wither. Weird, but true. The 6mm plastic will hopefully keep just enough heat over the night to bring the beans to a harvestable state.
