I used a sewing machine to seam it into a big bag that went over the branches, gathered it underneath and tied it with a string. <br /><br />Tulle should work for most pests except the tiny ones - flea beetles, aphids, & potato leaf hoppers. Those would need testing. Can they slip through the holes?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-26112518497179268022014-04-09T18:22:53.821-04:002014-04-09T18:22:53.821-04:00I'm hoping our lettuce takes off.

We got the irrigation water going now, so the garden lettuces should really take off.

What a neat idea with the lettuce seeds. Reminds me of sharing plants and having a friendship garden. Thanks for sharing.

Do you know that one?Mark Willishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04558305122821209520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-6380953538446043922014-04-08T09:53:11.619-04:002014-04-08T09:53:11.619-04:00You have such a beautifully organized garden.

I am also growing Little Gem this year, because I saw Granny mention it in a past blog post.4theluvofgardeninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16394587994091953050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-50859043499805878822014-04-08T09:22:22.666-04:002014-04-08T09:22:22.666-04:00I also borrowed her idea of getting regular nettin...I also borrowed her idea of getting regular netting from fabric store instead of agribon (less expensive) and it worked out pretty well.

I wait for my fabric store to have their 50%+10% sale and buy the stuff by the bolt.
