They are online. However I did not put it on soon enough. I was using it for kale. I will have to try it again when we have a garden again someday. We are hoping to have one when we get to move, right now we cannot have a garden.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4916485057164205644.post-77040610474345111012014-10-31T20:56:37.573-04:002014-10-31T20:56:37.573-04:00When you posted about row covers before in years p...When you posted about row covers before in years past, we found some through Lee Valley I believe. I live in Alberta, Canada, and so I chose this through a local catalogue, although I believe they would ship (or even have centers in) the states. Sorry I don't have a link, but just search Lee Valley.

I'll see if I can find another supplier for the kind of row cover that I prefer. Your local garden center may have row covers but most likely they will not be as heavy - but still would work.<br />GinaGinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05420137490490341730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4916485057164205644.post-15425187811236958282014-10-31T15:50:18.423-04:002014-10-31T15:50:18.423-04:00I'm sorry.

So far after 3 weeks our garden looks fantastic. We only have it on one garden bed at this stage but I think we will be buying more each year. We have lettuce, capsicum ( peppers), and broccoli under cover.<br />I love reading your blog but I am very very envious of your bread making skillsDeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05140641738152408291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4916485057164205644.post-85103745685439030612014-10-30T21:55:50.491-04:002014-10-30T21:55:50.491-04:00What a terrific idea Gina.

I was able to harvest some because I hand picked what seemed like thousands of green worms but still lost a lot. I have heard that if you spray with bt every 10 days it will keep the worms away. And organic farms use it, so I am trying it with my fall broccoli this year. So far so good. Is there anything special about how you made your cold frame or is it just a raised bed in a warm spot?Nicolenoreply@blogger.com
