Spinach Shack Yea!
Quarter Sky Tunnel Spinach Shack
I love the crisp thick green leaves of winter spinach. The arugula, beets, kale and carrots are just a bonus. I’ve been growing my own in a cold frame on the South side of my garage for the last two years. My home shelters the bed and created a micro climate that can be a couple of degrees warmer. The freezing North winds are blocked and the Sun pours down its warmth.
Dut to do dododododo do do Spinach Shack Yea!
I’m smiling and singing since I built my Spinach Shack Yea!
Spinach is remarkable plant it contains antifreeze proteins that help protect the cell membranes from the freezing. Last year my spinach withstood all that Jack Frost could muster down to three degrees.
This year I took it to the next level with my cold frame design. I made it big enough to walk into. It extends six feet out and is sixteen feet long and six feet high. I have a door on the side and can reach all areas for harvest. I will be harvesting fresh sweet spinach and cold weather crops all winter.
If you have a microclimate and a building sidewall with south exposure you too can have a Spinach Shack and fresh greens all winter. Give me a call for a design consultation and to schedule construction.
