Just wait for this fall I am going to do it right. It was easy to do. The hardest part was digging the post holes by hand. The way I look at it after August it will be complete and the only maintenance will be replacing the plastic every year. I am going to build a rafter frame over the garden. During the spring it will serve as trellises. My goal is to over winter a few pepper plants and have pepper trees next year. A lot of the vegetable that don't do well in the south can be grown in the winter. Sugar spans snow peas and lettuce grows great in the winter. All I use is a 1500 watt ceramic space heater when we have a hard freeze. One night when it was in the mid 20's that little heater kept the garden at 36 degrees. Those pictures were taken Jan 2014 when we had that hard freeze. If you don't do a winter garden you don't know what you are missing. Less weeding and watering.
