Weekly garden digest 10/25 +

I started writing this update a few days ago, and already, with a few cold nights, so much has changed!

Silver slicer cucumber took a steep nose dive

Retirements

Harvest and other developments

The major development is the construction of my mini warm house for radishes, carrots, beets, and spinach that are still growing. They should be fine without it for a bit longer, but I’m using this as a learning experience. I already learned that plastic trash bags are unwieldy and shower curtains are the way to go. My neighbor also has a pole along the bottom seam on both sides which is a pro move to hold the ends down evenly.

For the frame I ordered a small segmented kit on Amazon to try things out before investing a bunch of money (and storage space!) on a bigger structure. I still have pieces left, I may add more cross pieces to make it stronger. The great thing about this is I can take it apart and store it in essentially a shoebox when I’m not using it. Storage space for all of my garden gear is becoming an issue since I don’t have a garage.
