Here's a pic of my deck. As you may be able to see I'm under a lot of trees and face west but I don't get that much sunlight. It may not be a good spot for a greenhouse.

What a lovely setting.

May well be too shady for a greenhouse, but what if some of the dead branches were removed, the west gives the most sun that there is.

The year that I had a complete garden in the far side added on room, it had only a good north window and an Eastern small window and my peppers, greens and tomatoes grew just fine.

You might play with the cheap plastic and see if you think it is worth going into more expense.

Thanks for the photo of the birdhouse, now I can show Bob the man who came to fix a couple leaks what I meant.

I suggested he make for sale, also suggested solar cookers and solar greenhouses, which your next post proves that I am right, 6 weeks without electric is a long time.

Bob is a neighbor of Scott’s Lady Friend, LOL, I like him, he talks like he has been reading the Free Republic.

I was afraid he wouldn’t come back, I slipped yesterday and voiced my opinion, and Debbie said no politics...so I feared he was one of “them”....LOL, he made it clear that he is not.

He is a cabinet maker, and is interested in things to make and sell.

I suggested the bird houses for bird lovers, solar ovens and solar greenhouses, will also suggest the earth type boxes for planters.

What other survival items should I add to my list? LOL, yes there is a piece of paper here that says “Bob” on it.

Selfish me, if he stays in the valley, instead of going east to find work, I will have someone to call for help.
