The past three weeks have flown by and along with it has come some major changes in the gnomes garden. I've got the trellises installed in all the gardens and now they are complete. I ordered one 5x30 trellis net from amazon.com and paid $13, so it was affordable. It took about 10 minutes per garden to tie them on. As for as the poles, we used electrical cinduit as recommended and they were affordable at less than $2 each, but the elbows were decidedly more expensive at $4 (I think) each.
One unfortunate occurrence is the bolting of three of my cabbage plants. We had a couple of cold nights at 46° and then a couple of very hot days at 86, so they just didn't know what to make of it. I decided to let them grow, even though they may be bitter. I decided I needed the experience.
Another thing that I have done is added more of the medium mix to my first garden because it had experienced some settling and perhaps some run-off from rain.
It seems a harvest of the greens will be forth coming in the next couple of days, along with Swiss Chard and spinach. There will be plenty of pics of those in the next update.
