2020 Garden changes

[XJ]

If work-from-home continues for a while, I could probably get a garden to survive past hail season! That has always been the problem, the storms roll through mid-day and just shred the leaves. Last year I tried containers/Homer buckets back and forth from the porch into June, and still got surprised.


Plenty of time until Mother's Day to get plants in the ground. Maybe there are some better approaches? Can't really see going to a full-on greenhouse, if those even stand up to hail.

Make hoop tents with PVC pipe and garden insect mesh. This stuff is hail-proof and has held up well for several seasons; their jumbo clips work well. www.growcover.com.au
