The raised bed includes uprights at each corner to help support a floating row cover, so important in winter. The row cover keeps the tender seedlings protected from drying winds and frost and keeps the gold crown sparrows from picking. I set out onions in the next bed over. They won’t need any special protection, only the long deep rains of winter to build strong roots and thick bulbs.
