![]() We've been eating fresh lettuce for a couple of weeks. It grew very fast against the southeast wall in a thingamajig you could call a cold frame - see photo below. It's an old worm bin enclosed on two sides with school bus windows. I made a lid, a frame with row cover attached, for insulation and to keep out sparrows. ![]() This juicy Bok Choi has been growing under a row cover tunnel since May 7. I bought the transplants at Rona, a 6-pack for $3. The Swiss Chard is also ready for picking and the Brussels Sprouts are growing well. Last fall, I mulched the bed with straw, which preserves moisture and protects the plants on cold nights.

Your garden all looks so healthy, when do you leave the lid off the cold frame and the canopy off your 'tent'?

Hi Janet, for leafy greens, the row cover "tent" and "lid" can stay on until harvest because these plants don't need as much light and it keeps out pesky critters.
