It’s a mad dash to put the greenhouse up. Today was a gorgeous day. Keith invented this wood contraption which helped steady the heavy frame while we put them into each side’s ground post. We continue tomorrow.

Oh My Aching Body
So we’ve made it through three days straight of greenhouse building. Michelle has taken the week off to accomplish this task. The two of us have worked continually for the last 3 days.

Well we’ve been busy splitting – it’s gotten smaller. Hoop house veggies coming along (L-R: carrotts, leeks, spinach).… Continue reading What we’ve been up to…
