Here we are half way through June! Dan helped me build awesome trellis' for the garden today. We bought a hog panel from a ranch supply store, cut into the right lengths with bolt cutters and hinged the pieces with some extra springs that came along with my expensive compost bin from Gardener's Supply. It took about 15 minutes to make and install. It cost $22 for the panel and it made exactly two trellis' that are about 3 1/2' x 3 1/2'. See a better picture below.
I planted some more seeds today. Loose leaf red lettuce, kale, spinach, green beans and carrots. I merely sprinkled the carrot seed on the soil and lightly brushed my hands around on top of it. So few carrot seeds sprouted when I actually planted them, that I thought I would give this a try.

I planted lettuce and spinach underneath the trellis. They can tolerate the shade and will hopefully thrive once the cucumbers get busy climbing.

I think these are brilliant!
