What a great way to hold tomato plants to the fence . large plastic clothes pins!!
.....just a journal of mostly photos of my gardening adventures... minus the backlog of over 1000 photos not yet uploaded! Also, I find myself collecting some recipes and just good ideas so this is the perfect place to put them. More pictures are on Pinterest at pinterest.com/laurelWisconsin.

Lettuce in rain gutters
Hmmm…. I think the first one that the water can drain from the top on all the way down is a good idea. Another idea I thought of was to take a fence panel and attach it to the house on the deck. Then make a pull up blind of sorts with plastic to lower when it needs to be covered and it will act as a temporary greenhouse.
I’m starting to like the idea of hanging them like the second on the right. It would involve plant hangers and potentially be more creative than permanently attaching them…. and if it didn’t work.. I could hang flowers on the hangers.

It’s December 16th….
……and I’m working outside! I need to put blocks along the back of the raised bed and
I thought maybe dividing it in parts would be a good thing….
In case I forget what it was like I included a picture of it with all the tomatoes last year….
and a picture of how I want it eventually!
