Straw Bale Garden Update and Prep for Winter
Last night we had temperatures in the low 40's. So what does that mean? Time to get the #strawbalegarden ready for winter.
After getting started with the covering we discovered that the 6mil plastic recently purchased at The Home Depot was NOT clear or translucent but instead a greyish tone. Totally unsuitable for our purposes. So I will have the please of driving 80 miles round trip to exchange it for a better option.
Yvonne will also take you on a tour of the greenhouse and outdoor grow area giving you an update and insight into future plans.
A SPECIAL THANK YOU goes out to our viewer Shirley for the fantastic seeds!
