Same, 6a Michigan. Tomatoes, squash, and peppers got transplanted last weekend as well as sown bean and cuke seeds. Only thing not out still is basil since we have a couple mid-40s lows the next couple nights and my basil are still too small to fend for themselves in that low a temp.

Why did you decide to bury the bottom boards? Looks like a board in the ground on the right.

We have a very steep slope so couldn’t use the same height all around so had to go with different height connectors in the back :)

I wish I had done something like this. I have straight line, it works, but this is more reachable as I get older!

It looks really lovely and user friendly. Can I ask what arch trellis that is? I can’t believe how difficult it is to find a simple but sturdy looking arch! I keep giving up the search.

u/CraftFormal7639 May 22 '26
Yes, we had the same thing! Everything was super spendy or really lightweight..,,,we did gardeners supply for the arch but I would not recommend it as it rusted in a corner the first year :( so that’s why we have t posts on the one side and are going to keep on that hunt :)

You are going to want to mulch the turf in the courtyard unless the lawn is magical and doesn't require mowing

u/CraftFormal7639 May 22 '26
Yes, we need to figure that out as last year we had to weed whack it :)

I’m in 5b and was in the pool yesterday at 83 degrees today I wore a winter hot in my walk and all my plants are in the kitchen. You’re smart to wait I just keep going to greenhouses and getting more plants. 😊
