Ahhhh....Spring is coming...c’mon sunshine! This will be the first full Spring in our new home - so exciting! Once the sunshine makes a more regular
appearance we will be turning our focus to gardening. Gardening is probably one of the most exciting parts of Spring for us. We want to eventually put in a Greenhouse
but we will need to wait until we properly plan and prepare our landscaping which will probably take a few years. In the meantime we can still reminisce on the
greenhouse we built at our previous home.
We started with a simple wooden base
Then the framing continued, the plastic went up, and finally; in went the plants. I planted way too many , then removed the
weakest ones, and gave a few to friends and family. The plants included tomatoes, peppers,
arugula, green onions, cucumbers and many more
The tomatoes did quite well
So did the cucumbers, here's a picture of them in the earlier stages of growth
I was given some sunflower seeds at a friend’s wedding, they had
a spring wedding and gave various seeds as wedding favors (how cute!) On a whim I planted a few next to the green
house and they grew taller than me, then eventually grew to be taller than the
Greenhouse!
We enjoyed that old house and loved that old Greenhouse. I designed it with the help of a few library books, and had the numbers and design verified by my Dad, husband and Father-in-law. My Dad made some improvements to my design and it was built by all of us (mostly by our Dads, as they had more construction know-how).
What is your favorite thing about Spring?
