The 'mad driller" is at work attaching the cold frame top to a new cedar base to make it 12" taller.
The cold frame is a good place to "harden off" plants coming out of the heated greenhouse before they get planted out in May. It also doubles as a good storage locker in the winter.
I celebrated our week of good weather (we usually get one week of sun with temps in the 60's in Feb) by doing a little raised bed work. Besides turning the dirt, I "collar up" a couple of beds by adding another top of cedar 2"x6" so that they are a bit taller. That way I can rotate crops...always a challenge in a small garden.
Our week of nice weather is almost over so we can look forward to the monsoon and maybe even a late snow storm. Folks here go crazy when they see the sun for more than a day...doing things like going through the car wash, visiting the Grange for seeds, opening the windows and hanging out the blankets & sheets for fresh air drying and cleaning off the debris on the patio & walkways. We just can't help ourselves!
