I put the peer pressure on.
Ren Man resists as long as possible reasoning that another cold front could happen before it's REALLY time to plant.
I reason warmer weather.
He finally relents and plants.
Two raised beds - yes, in the front yard.
What's the point of all that grass when we could grow produce?!?!
Oh, and the "trellis"?
That's from our boxspring that we took apart.
I have mixed feelings about this: pride (we were resourceful) and mortified (we have a box spring piece in our front yard).
And here's where the rush wasn't a great idea.
We (meaning Ren Man) transplanted basil and tomatos here and then covered them with hay to keep them a little more toasty.
And then last night.... it got c-o-l-d!
When I glanced out the front window this morning I was shocked to see a small baby quilt thrown over these plants! Then I realized they needed the extra coverage last night!
These guys were brought in last night too -
don't need any tomatos to suffer in the cold!
Yep! Yummy produce already! It's fun to see how far we can stretch the growing season using cold-loving plants.

I think using the box spring is a great idea! And really, who will really notice what it is? ;)
