Have had fun playing with my new wall of waters. I learned about them from Jackie Clay who writes for Back Woods Home Mag. They are plastic teepee like things that you fill with water, then let sit for a week, then plant tomatoes in them. You are supposed to get tomatoes 2 months earlier. So I did 6 in my greenhouse and next week will do 6 in my regular garden to find out how well they work.
Today I planted collards, red and green bibb lettuce and arugula in my greenhouse. My husband and two sons and sil worked on digging the holes and planting my fruit trees. Don't know what I would do without them. Next week 300 strawberry plants and 60 raspberry plants arrive so we will be busy putting up a fence and getting them planted.
