Comments (8)Wow! That coldframe is awesome gratefuled. After seeing that, some of us probably are hesitating to post our mundane solutions. So I'll start with very simple ones I used. Old, yellowed sheer curtains made good row covers for my broccoli plants last season. Bottomless plastic milk jugs and water bottles with the tops removed made good frost and critter protection in the early season for small transplants. Slats from a broken vinyl mini-blind were cut up and made great plant markers. I found marking them with a soft lead pencil gave readable labels all summer long. A china marker (grease pen) also worked well. Sharpie markers were okay for a few months, but other permanent marker brands faded much quicker. I eyeball neighbors' trash on garbage day with "repurposing" thoughts in mind. Small lengths of fencing is used to protect plants the rabbits like to eat. Broom & mop handles become plant stakes or tripods for climbing vines. Empty nursery pots get refilled with my divided perennials or used as patio containers. Maybe I'll even spray some with a terra cotta color paint this year. Old pallets that were being thrown out by a business (yes, I asked) became a double compost bin. That's the best garden thing I've built....and I had help from my husband. We built that on our anniversary, and I considered it a great present. I wouldn't suggest it for most people ;)...See Moremy new garden toy

Comments (9)LOL. Okra. OK if I'm a good girl and get a lot of my "essential" work done, I may be able to spend a little time adding okra, herbs and maybe a few other nice plants. Hint: Save the program to your harddrive- click File:Save As, select "web page, complete" at the bottom of the Save dialog and the page will download to your harddrive with images so you can use it forever! Note: I cut a large portion out of the center of the image to save space!...See MoreI am getting a new garden toy.
Comments (4)I too have a small tiller, it's a Stihl and has other attachments. The one draw back I have is the pulling to start it. ugh. It will start eventually but yeesh. I paid extra for the "easy start" option too. However, I don't use it very often as I no longer have the veggie garden. I use it for new flower seed beds and also use the edger attachment sometimes. Congrats on your new toy!...See Moreravencajun Zone 8b TX
