Go figure.<BR/><BR/>I hope my cold frame looks nice like the high-end ones in the post; the pieces make me hopeful!Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06657232418012801175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4859873319068539701.post-25514859226703230822008-08-22T07:56:00.000-04:002008-08-22T07:56:00.000-04:00I'm almost afraid to say this lest I jinx it, but ...I'm almost afraid to say this lest I jinx it, but I've only seen one cabbage white so far too. The bug situation has been strange this year. It's been all-out war against the squash family. I've never had so many squash bugs, vine borers (even getting the butternuts!), and those little green worms that wreck the winter squashes. But I haven't seen a flea beetle or an aphid. The whites could be on their way any minute but I'm hoping nature will give the brassicas a break this fall to make up for all the winter squash we won't be eating.<BR/><BR/>Nice cold frame. I've kept lettuce, romanesco, and even fennel going under heavy plastic over PVC pipe in winter here just fine. But that cedar frame surely looks a lot nicer and will be safer if we do get any really cold weather.CENhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14465646038423049702noreply@blogger.com
