I love my little shotgun shack. It's not a big house (one bedroom, sorta small) but the kitchen is large. Very large. One end I use for the kitchen, and the other end is my office. It has windows East, South, and West, so I built a sun-shelf somewhat above my office space.

Of course, single guys can do that. ;)

I grow my indoor plants on the southwest side of my office which is in the basement. They are in front of the sliding glass doors that leads to one of our patios.

I would like to build the greenhouse so that it is attached to the house, and I can just leave the door open and walk in and out during the day.

We also have windows facing southwest upstairs in the kitchen and the utility rooms. These I would like to replace with greenhouse windows and fill them with herbs, green onions, chives, etc.

Married people can be flexible too. Now that the kids have moved out we have lots of room to be flexible.LOL.

The cat thinks she owns the window sills so knocks my seedlings off. Mr.b has taken over the other bathroom so my windows are limited. I have two small flats in the kitchen window and potted up some onions in the bedroom window. The cat knows better than to come into the kitchen and I put up barriers for the onions. I wanted to get the onions set out this week but the garden still isn’t tilled. The old stuff needs pulling out and need to go into town for gas and oil for the tiller. It was 83 here today and looks like the nice weather will last through next week.

Most of the tomatoes have sprouted but it’s zero for the peppers. I don’t know what happened with the peppers since I used three different varieties but they were all in the same flat so will have to work on something different for them.
