A little spring frost protection. Works like a warm winter coat protecting plants down to 24-26 °F

2 - 1/2"  PVC pipes (10' pipes)
8 - 1/2" galvanized pipe hangers (two for each end of the pipe, use the ones that you screw on both sides)
4 - 2x4" boards (cut to size from 8' boards)
1 - (9'x15') Frost blanket
16 - 1.25" decking screws
10 - 3" decking screws

Start Planning Your Garden Now

If you want to learn home preservation of food (canning), Think about what specifically you want to preserve. You need to start planning out your year and now is a good time to start thinking about what you want to put in your gardens for canning. If you plan for what you want to can or freeze now, you can plan your garden. If you plan your garden you don't have to buy everything you want to preserve at the store. I'm thinking that once a month would be a good place to start for planning. Every few Saturdays I'll try to post something about planning gardens and canning food.
