Harvest Monday ... And An Easy Little Trellis

This week saw the start of the pea harvest!  Only a few made it into the house; Mike and I munched a bunch of them right off the plant in the garden : )

Snow Peas : Oregon Sugar Pod II

There was a big haul of  spinach that was destined for the freezer ...

Spinach Bloomsdale Savoy and Everlasting

The start of the broccoli harvest ...

Broccoli : De Cicco

And a lot of lettuce was harvested that didn't get photographed.


I'm joining other bloggers over at Daphne's Dandelions as we share our weekly harvests...it's fun to see what others are harvesting and what they are cooking up with it...check it out!


I've been adding some simple trellises to the ends of some of my raised beds ...

I added another piece of PVC to the bed about 6" back from the one at the end.  Then all I needed was a piece of wire fencing and some twine ...

I cut the fencing to match the interior width of the bed ...

...tied the fencing to the PVC with some twine ...

... trimmed the fencing to the curve of the hoop ...

...and then did the same on the other end of the trellis ...


I planted cucumbers at the base of the trellis.  There are Asian greens on the other side that will be glad of the shade the cucumber foliage will soon supply while the cucumbers will enjoy the direct sun at the end of the bed.


Enjoy!
