Then when the snow came, there wasn't much buffer space and it weighed the covers down to the ground. We're letting an area grow in with trees, so I hopefully that will be a wind breaker at some point.

I love they color they add to salads and other fresh uses, even if they aren't as sweet to just eat them by themselves. That trailer load of compost brings back memories. I used to go load up my pickup bed with composted manure. But then I had to spread it quick so I could use my truck for something else! It makes the garden grow, that's for sure.Dave @ HappyAcreshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03441364543023807886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6261494849047025161.post-1402470999826477432016-02-02T16:48:37.575-05:002016-02-02T16:48:37.575-05:00I had the same collapse issue with my lettuce row ...I had the same collapse issue with my lettuce row cover this past fall - I use tubing that's normally used for drip as a support, which works great normally, but seems to lose it's strength in freezing temperatures. <br /><br />And that's how I felt about the carrots they grew at the farm I volunteered at - the coloured ones looked beautiful, especially when sliced, but when it came to taste, it's the orange ones that I went for.
