[Ag-eq] Useful garden things I bought this year

[Jody Ianuzzi]

Hello Tracy

I'm sorry I didn't answer your message sooner. I was very interested to read of your cold frames and your sprinkler system. I have also heard that if you only water the garden plants and you don't water in between the rows that you end up with a lot less weeds. 

Are you still able to grow anything in the cold frames this late in the year?  

Did you freeze or can any of your vegetables

> I bought a cold frame from Amazon in the spring.  One of the reviewers said it was like Leggos in the way it snaps together, and it kind of is.  It snaps together, then, when its time is over, unsnaps to store flat and take up less space.  My only complaint is it's a bit hard to snap the lid locks when the lid is closed.  I used it in the spring, then took it down for the summer, and set it back up for the fall.  Right now, it's got chard, spinach, and salad greens in it.  I think they'll last well into the winter.

You put the sprinkler, or soaker hose, where you want it, then connect to a hose pipe that runs over areas you don't want to water, then connect another sprinkler or soaker, then hook up a hose coupler at the end.  Then you put the regular hose into the coupler, turn on the water, and water everything all at once.  It's great to just have to water once, instead of stopping and moving the sprinkler every 45 minutes or so.
