The Fortress, Reinforced. John has now built lidded boxes around the sides of the garden, making little greenhouses for our squash and cucumbers. He had makeshift corner greenhouses last year and the squash loved the protection. The cucumbers are an experiment. They wilt and die if you even look at them wrong.

This is my favorite. For hinges he cut up old leather work gloves. Thrifty with hinges. With plastic, not so much.
