I did that once John. I used a tent and two flimsy arches to create a gazebo greenhouse. I hung Christmas lights inside. All my plants survived the winter. I was so happy I didn’t have to buy more plants the following year.

This looks like an expensive maintenance garden. not sure she is saving any money. 30 bucks for a pot will take ten years to recover the costs in food savings.

What a great garden. It just goes to show that it doesnt matter where you live, if you want to grow your own food you can.

About the roach trap, you can also make one that will catch SLUGS! just put some beer in it instead of coffee grounds.

Hey John have you ever grown Lingonberries? After seeing your video with the Guava’s I was kinda looking into the different type of berries and its quite an adventure looking at all the different kind. Thanks in advance.

I am sorry to tell you that the cockroaches here in Israel can climb out of a trap like that. Sigh!
They say that cockroaches will inherit the Earth. They seem to be able to adapt to almost anything.

i am another hair collector, i started after seeing hair pads to go at the bottom of pots to collect the goodness that washes out of the compost when watering, in the uk these cost a lot and so i would not get them but having long hair i can make a few a year and put some out for the birds to use as nesting

Yeah, John, too bad she’s taken. She’s pretty hot.
Anyway, another awesome episode. I love your enthusiasm and the way you network with other gardeners. You are so inspirational that this year, 2011, I ripped out my (lucky for me south facing) front lawn and put in a vegatable garden. Heavily emulating your front yard.
Keep up the good work!

She has a lush back yard. And I ain’t talking about the one on her property.
