Carol's garden is in Port Hope MI, in a rural, lakeside community. She has lots of space and expertise. Laura' garden is located in Centralia WA, in a small suburban yard challenged by access to sun and space. Debbie's garden is in Deckerville MI, in a smaller rural yard, where rules are ignored.
Each of us is applying what we learned at at our mother's and grandmother's knees in space once owned by Sophie Mayer Birg Harter on Rangeline Road. Sophie immigrated to Detroit in 1908 from Heufeld, a once German (Donauschwaben) community of Hungary. Her hope lives on.

Garden progress
The garden is coming along. Plants in the cold frame are beginning to thrive, we had our first radish, asparagus, and rhubarb Sunday.
The cold frame faces south, we start as soon as the soil is not frozen. We remove the top in winter and then put it on when we think all danger of heavy snow is gone, usually early to mid March but it was late March this year.
That's a pretty big cold frame. Where do you place it, facing south? And how soon do you put seeds, plants in it?
ReplyDeleteNice pic of the vineyard.
