Can you plant Potatoes in July?
What happens if you plant potatoes in July? Let's harvest and find out...
This year I fell behind and planted my garden on July 1st, and that included potatoes. Usually, potatoes are planted in spring so this was an interesting experiment. There were both benefits and drawbacks for this crop, and I'll explain them as I harvest these potatoes near the end of October.

    Kate, Your pergola is great, I would just like to ask you to give us the dimensions. You had to have them because you can't do it without drawings. If you don't have it, try to measure at least the overall dimensions. Thanks and greetings!

    • @KatesGarden
      @KatesGarden 15 днів тому

      Hi, I don't currently have drawings for this project but I did measure some of the dimensions for an other commenter: "Sorry I don't have a diagram but I can give you some of the key measurements. The upright "posts" are 80 inches long and the top lintels are 48 inches long. (I think I bought five 2x4x8's and stretched the one for the top lintel as far as I could 😋) I used 24" wide mesh so I made the side openings to fit. It ended up as 24-5/8" opening so the mesh had a bit of space on both sides but still good overlap on the 1x2 that it's mounted to. I remember thinking that it looked HUGE once I had the pieces cut. But if you have the space for it and you plan on having climbing plants, I think this is pretty much the perfect small sized arbour because the plants will use some of the space. Hope that makes sense, YOU CAN DO IT! 👍"

    Im looking to adapt a similar design to keep some planted hibiscus shrubs safe through the winter without digging them up...hopefully. How sealed do the edges, lid, and bottom need to be, or is there room for having a few gaps?

    • @KatesGarden
      @KatesGarden Місяць тому

      That could certainly be done 👍 The sealed edges part is tricky. Depending on your nighttime temperatures, it might need to be locked up tight. But if it’s sealed well it will certainly need to be opened during the days for ventilation but also it might get too hot on a sunny day even in winter. Unfortunately, it’s a judgment call on the best choice for winter care Thanks so much for watching, I hope the hibiscus make it through the winter 🌺

      @KatesGarden 3 місяці тому

      Thanks! This is such a great question and something I was considering while I was planning. My goal was to use this greenhouse just during the spring so the sun would be lower during the day. By the time summer approached and the sun higher, it would be warmer and the greenhouse not needed. (So I should be planting, or the more tolerant plants can sit next to the greenhouse outside to make more space) Also, because the upper shelf is only half as deep, it lets the light into the back more easily. If more light is needed, the greenhouse could be built taller so the upper shelf can be higher. Hope that helps, thanks!
