Outdoors I’ve sown lettuce, radishes and peas in wine barrels. These great clear umbrellas make great pop up greenhouses!

Super Sow Sunday: Umbrella Greenhouses
Hi Stevie,
Your berries look good. How amazing to pick you own at home.
I just wanted to let you know that Lee Valley Tools also makes a Pop-Up Net Shelter (35″x35″x20″ tall) that helps shield plants from heavy rain, birds and insects. It comes in a zipper pouch that makes it great for storing flat or hanging. The cost is $9.50.

@flowercents. I use these: http://bit.ly/bjOgcw. But also Siletz are fine on their own in mid/late April with night temps over 7C.
This is such a cute Idea. I love it! Now to find a clear umbrella.
Hi,
Is it needed to drill holes in the bottom of the barrel?
I want to sow lettuce and herbs :-)
Thank you very much,
Judy
Hi Judy. Yup, I drilled holes. Three of them at the bottom for drainage. Thanks for stopping by!
