Garden Tire

You probably can't see it very well in the picture, but I transplanted the welsh (perennial) onions in a circle. Then a circle of fresh cut carrot tops, then the one and only surviving carrot top I had started in the house, into the center. Carrots are biennial, so these are for seed.

The welsh onions are eaten as a green onion. Husband and the boys should be able to find them here. Hopefully not all of them though, or how will they return?

We got just enough rain to wake up the blackflies. It would be nice if we got the downpour that keeps knocking out my internet.
Back to the greenhouse...

    1. No doubt. I think we get the advantage in fewer herbivore bugs. Even the bugs in the north prefer meat, bwahaha!!!

  2. Hey Wendy, go check out Rural-Revolution.com and see her tire garden. I guess its all the rage this year. Plus I know you'll love her blog if you haven't already seen it.
