Two days ago I made a shade box for my lettuce seedlings. It was actually quite easy. I'll need to make it higher when they get bigger, or maybe I won't need it if the carrots behind grow quickly enough. Hubby was quite impressed! Point for me! I cheated with the lettuce, it's store bought. I have about five packets of various lettuce seeds to plant, but these looked so healthy and were really cheap (and I want lettuce NOW!!). This is the first lettuce I've ever had in any garden I've owned. With all the rain, the slugs have come out on show. I've been ready with the beer traps in hand, but even though I see them in the grass, none have discovered my vegetable garden yet. I thought maybe they find the rough wood to hard to go up. It certainly gives splinters very easily although we made the top smooth. We'll see how long my luck lasts...
And
Crispy,
my non-
helper!
