well let's see it's the second day of
spring and we have another snowstorm
coming tonight but guess what I'm
planting my cold frame anyways so I had
this all set with a spinach and carrots
back last fall and of course the moles
came in and destroyed it off so I also
have some whole over spinach but I do
have another spot out there which I'll
have another cold frame which has
spinach I was wintered over just with
snow on top and it looks fine
before we plant this and this should be
up in two pi by a week or two put the
cold frame on it's gonna snow tonight
that's okay we'll shovel up tomorrow and
and it will mow very quickly and then
when it gets really cold
I feel blanket on top we're inside which
keeps it nicely protected already
started here and we'll continue on
planting then the is instruction size
makes them carefully and about half inch
deep
that's close enough
a few more in there
there we go cover about half inch of
soil
you can go pretty close get in a cold
frame I'm not walking in it that's why I
see spinach lipgloss comes in the
package they say keep it about a foot a
foot half to two I went to have to two
feet apart but I did about six eight
inches and always seems to do okay that
close
Alex I'm not walking on it next some
carrots yeah these happen to be what's
called tender sweet look at these pretty
close keys those seeds from left left
over from last year but they should
germinate
I was cloak planting real close together
in case of germination is down and then
we'll just sit them out as they come up
later on and count this about quarter
inch deep
okay
because I'm gonna plant this pretty
close together here use these up from
last year
kind of the germination made it be a
little low
it's pretty easy just get it in quickly
and before it starts snowing out I guess
huh they're talking about three to five
inches tonight that's not too bad a
little different than 25 inch sure we
had last week there we go now we're
gonna throw some rashes I'm gonna
pretend like for the rashes in between
the hurts marks the rose and uh s rashes
come quickly and you can enjoy those and
about 30 about 30 days by end of April I
should have first pardon to me should be
eatin rashes out here
and these are champion radishes it says
20 to 27 days look cooler out so take a
little longer I figured this is the 22nd
of March so I think it's gonna take
another I think a good month and a half
compete to be ready because the cooler
weather slows them down
there we go those pat-down but this is a
quarter inch of soil so I'm gonna be
careful here not going too deep because
the carrots want to stay shallow
I use this to try keep the voles away
these are hunks of um thorn branches
from roses
keeps the voles down but the moles seem
to not care about it oh well they use
something different next shaky at the
molt population dumb here's another one
it was carrots all on here beautiful
carrots but the moles enjoyed them it
happens I guess they got to eat too
right okay well there we go so we got a
nice spinach in there two rows two rows
of carrots and just in time for this
evening snowstorm and we go over and
show the peas I have going over there so
doesn't matter what the weather is doing
with proper protection cold frames you
can definitely extend the season I've
had the system probably for about 35
years at least 33 I know for sure right
now my piece I'm going to peel this back
because with the snow coming it will
crush all the hoops on it had that
happen before the pea seeds are
underneath it doesn't matter if it's
going to be snow on top
this soil protects them
okay
so snow huh shake this off the two by
fours with the past they on it tomorrow
morning and put it down this warmth us
today will melt the snow it's gonna be
in tap with you where the peas are
planted and you just fine hopefully only
get three to five inches and now foot
foot and a half to heaven down south of
us
