1cubic foot greenhouse

I'm in a little friendly competition with my seed co-op for earliest produce. (Actually, only one person accepted the challenge so far, but I have a long-standing tendency to compete hard against myself, so it doesn't really matter.)

In the spirit of early greens, I built a few little greenhouses. I cut a strip of chicken wire, 1 ft wide by 4 ft long. I folded it in four and then hooked the ends together. Then I cut a piece of plastic drop cloth and wrapped the wire "box" like a Christmas present without a bottom.

We have forecasted temperatures in the 20s for several nights this week, but maybe when this string breaks I'll give these a try. For the cost of a few seeds I can't really lose.
