There is this guy that I pass when I work. He has a really neat set up. Its basically a converted dog pen. I will try and get picture thursday. But what they did was use the metal tubing that you have for chain link fence, but at where the T's would be, they used a modified 4-way and build a chain link roof. Then, over that, they have the tarps to keep the sun and rain out. Built a chain link and wood door and frame.
Hmmm. Good to know! I was wondering if I could go that low-tech with the temp swings we get in late-May/early-June. Oh, and we scored a special order return (had been installed and then taken back out) window at lowe's on Sunday for under $10. That's cheaper than the re-use store, AND I don't have to worry about lead paint! Can't wait for cooler weather, a little extra $, and time to build another coop!
Thank goodness for some rain!! My garden is VERY happy to have some 'real' water, and I'm pretty sure the tomato plants grew another 6 or 8in overnight! I'm trying to decide of I need to go pick my broccoli today. The crowns aren't very big yet, but this is my first year with it, and I don't want it to bolt on me.
