I didn't actually want to advertise this mess, but I really feel I must share this with you - my spooky mad make-shift plant protection!!
After last year's pea/bean/mange tout epic fail the game was on to do it right this year. So. I erected a sturdy bean wall:
Grew plenty of seedlings indoors:
Started planting them out when it was nice and warm...
...and then the Swedish 'aprilväder' kicked in...
 |
| hard frosts... |
 |
| howling winds... |
 |
| ...and pouring rain. |
I just couldn't bear the thought of all those tender little green twigs being battered about by the cruel Swedish spring weather. Nor could I be bothered to rush about twice a day covering up each individual little seedling. So this is what they ended up with. A spooky wonky tent-like creation. o.O
But they do seem to be happy with their new home.
