What do hula hoops and brassicas have to do with one another? We buy $1 hula hoops from the @dollartree, cut them, insert dowels into each end and place them in the garden to create small caterpillar tunnels to protect our brassicas from cabbage moths and later frosts. The cover we use is a spun fabric that allows for watering and air flow but provides protection from insects and frost. #catepilartunnel #hoophouse #protection #reemay #fallgarden #brassica #cabbage #colecrop #fromseedtotable #growyourown #martitimegarden #pnwgardener #pnwhomestead #letsgarden #pnwlife #growyourownfood #gardengoals #growingfromseed #shareexploreinspire #ruinedmanicure https://www.instagram.com/p/CD4wLmLAoA8/?igshid=1389l7i2e43wm

We love in USDA Plant Hardiness Zone 8a. Anyone else? Our last frost date is May 1-15, and since we had some snow in April, I actually shot for May 20th. The first week of June we still had a few mornings with ice on our windshields, which our nightshade plants (tomatoes & peppers) was DID NOT appreciate and hopefully recover from the frost bite they received. Brassicas (cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli...) as you can see, LOVED it. #GrowYourOwn #PNWGardener #Cabbage #Zone8a #MaritimeGarden #Brassicas #Garden #ColeCrops #CoolWeatherCrops
