This weekend was a busy one. I tired to get caught up with the garden with all of the rain we have been getting it has been difficult. I did got a lot of hours on Saturday and we were able to get the T-Frames up for the pole beans and tomatoes. It will be nice to have something in place to hold the weight of these plants and pressure from the wind.
The basic plans for this T-Frame can be found in the Mittleider Method Garden Yahoo Group file section in a file labeled Gledhill Tools and Doc . We came up with a modified way using those hangers used in constuction for an even stronger frame. The post use 4x4's. You can use strong wire across but I wanted 2x4's so I can throw plastic, netting or what ever I need over the top with PVC making a hoop.
It rained but I got the squash, pumpkins, cucumbers and tomatoes in. They were looking a little sad when I got home today since it got rather warm. They should all make it. The is one good reason to use the peat blocks. You do not grow the plants in a pot so they do not get root bound.
