Summer starts ending in September....sadly. But tomorrow I am going to try to stretch my zucchini's life cycle. I'll build some simple mini greehouses over the plants in the garden. Now I have no idea how I'll do this. In fact I still haven't checked if I have plastic left in the garage. But it will be done tomorrow and I will post about it (probably even a video on Youtube). But in the meantime if you want to stretch Summer for your plants. I heard that to avoid freeze, you can simply put plastic over your plants at night.But you need to take it out in the morning or else they will steam during the day. Still some plants that need lots of heat might stop producing as the tempreture drops. I guess we will see if it's the case for my zucchinis =)

Stretching Summer
Where I live, Summer starts ending in September....sadly. But tomorrow I am going to try to stretch my zucchini's life cycle. I'll build some simple mini greehouses over the plants in the garden. Now I have no idea how I'll do this. In fact I still haven't checked if I have plastic left in the garage. But it will be done tomorrow and I will post about it (probably even a video on Youtube). But in the meantime if you want to stretch Summer for your plants. I heard that to avoid freeze, you can simply put plastic over your plants at night.But you need to take it out in the morning or else they will steam during the day. Still some plants that need lots of heat might stop producing as the tempreture drops. I guess we will see if it's the case for my zucchinis =)

I love this picture of the upright Zucchini beside the bright yellow mellow bloom. Weather changes pose a real threat to gardeners I guess.
ReplyDeleteEvery first zucchini grew like that. And besides slugs and worms...cold is my worst nemesis.
ReplyDeleteHi PainChaud,
ReplyDeleteI would like to post a link to your website on my website http://www.gardenwriters.ca. Take a look and let me know what province I could list your site in. (I figure it is probably in Quebec, but I don't want to asssume.) Also, if you know of any other links I could add, please let me know.

You've made a very creative photo, from a perspective not often seen. I really like it and all the color you were able to capture.
ReplyDeleteThanks Mary..this one was the very first zucchini that grew and I was amazed to see how it did. =)
