Uncovering the truth

Kerry A. Thompson

We planted our Gardener's Supply Company raised beds with their first seeds and seedlings in late April, about a month before the danger of frost would be over. We had transparent covers that fit over the beds to keep the small plants warm and the soil damp, while allowing for plenty of sun to encourage them to grow. The plants enjoyed their spring spa retreat and grew and grew and by late May, the tallest plants were touching the covers. What was under those covers for a month has now come to light and the neighbors are starting to understand what is going on in our front yard.
