What ever became of the hoop house???

7/18/2021

Well, I was not able to devise a system for keeping the Remay on. So it was a failure, at least for last year. I will try again. This growing season, I am using it as a trellis. Peas anyone? Yes, they are purple!

These little guys all have names now and are loving being outside. This is the Berkshire breed, well known for their quality.

This design has a string over the top to hold the remay onto the frame even in high winds. In two weeks I will plant onions here to see what happens.

The high winds yesterday blew my hoop house apart and crushed my pepper plant! I guess the new design had better be sturdier. Good to know now rather than later.

My last experiment for 2020. I am trying to keep a tender pepper plant alive to Thanksgiving. So far, so good. It got down to 23 degrees last night in the garden, and the pepper plant seems to be alive. I will keep you posted.

Animals eat more than grass. Although bamboo is a grass, we don't think of it as horse and cow food. I am experimenting with using it that way. My pigs will get mulberries, evening primrose, and apples as my plan moves forward.

These pigs arrived a week ago. We have had to scramble to keep them in green pasture with all this rain. They are adapting well. This is their first experience of being outside a barn. They finally figured out what that green stuff was for. That brown stuff is good for rooting in too!
