I planted my peas and beans in my weed -free raised beds. When they emerge I'll be able to identify them and not accidentally pull them out. I'm planting my squash in a crowded flower bed by the deck, and recognizing them when they emerge is going to be difficult.
I was looking for some way to protect them and make it easy for me to identify them until they get big enough to grow up on the deck.
I'm so proud of my solution. I took the removable bottom from my smallest tart pan and turned it upside down in the soil. Then I planted the squash seeds in the middle.
Tis is going to work so great. Instantly I began searching my brain for something similar to use around other plants that I'm may mistake for a weed. Suddenly I thought of large canning-jar rims. They are the same shape as the tart pan and should stay in one spot if pressed into the soil.
A friend is coming Monday to help me find my perennial sweet
peas and my short alliums. I'm going to
try this trick on them.
