72 and Sunny

Today, I thought I would share with you a few photos from my garden and my newest garden discovery.
My friend Joanie told me about these:



They come flat, and you fill them with water....like you would fill something inflatable with air (except it is much easier than blowing something up because of the large openings at the top).



So the whole point of these are to create a little extra insulated green house around your tomato plants or other plants. They make it so you can put your plants out 6 to 8 weeks earlier. Crazy huh? When your plants are babies, you fill the tubes half way up and let the top be kind of a roof over the plants head. Then you fill as they grow. I filled mine all the way up because it is so late in the season, that it won't freeze them, and I didn't want to cook the plants (as it was 72 out today).



So my yard has tons of stuff going on in it. Here's a slide show.
