concrete block farming & gardening; frost
One of the benefits I failed to mention this year about using concrete
block of their two holes and setting the plant in the middle of one of the holes is the protection from frost. I planted about 200 tomatoes and we were hit with frost 2 nights in the past several weeks. I lost perhaps 60% or more of the tomatoes. The ones alive were small and had not yet reached above the hole. Perhaps some of the taller ones are still alive. Anyway, next year I will plant tomatoes only after the second week of May and not before. Such a waste of time and energy. And some of my potatoes now have blackened leaves. I am hoping they are not killed, just damaged. Second week of May and never before. And start them inside in March and not February. I like the concrete block method so much that I have decided to put all of the tulips in them.
