What Is That? A Space Crafts and Igloos?



No, it's not the landing craft of a space ship that landed during the night next to our garden ...a 4-legged stand, about 7ft tall constructed of PVC pipes and joints. Jeff put it together yesterday afternoon and will finish it today or tomorrow. It's a bean pole and once the netting is tied to it and the ground tilled under it, the pole beans and squash will hopefully take to it and soon it will be covered with green leaves and vines...and beans and squash! The 'igloos' are 5' lengths of PVC pipe bent over and stuck in the ground to form a hoop, and then covered with 4ml plastic held in place by large clamps. The ground has already been tilled and compost added. We're preparing homes for the beans and peas that are growing like crazy in the TV room.
