mention that I just hate cooking, just love to eat the results.<<<
Sounds like a plan to me.
Years ago, I admitted to my self that I raked out the goat pens, more often than I swept the floors in the house.
House work and cooking should be done by robots, for they can be trained to repeat the same move over and over.......long after I am bored and looking for a new project.
I admitted years ago, that if I do not play in the dirt, I get mentally ill.
LOL, works and is a good excuse for an attached greenhouse.
As Anne (with an e) of Green Gables would say, “we truly are kindred spirits.” I, too, would much rather be raking goat pens than sweeping floors. One good thing, now we make more mess outside than inside as we are out most of the time.
How I would love a greenhouse similar to my 50 foot one I had years ago and if it happened to be hooked to the house, so much the better. Every year, I wonder if I will be gardening another year, so justifying the expense of a greenhouse would be difficult, so I content myself with my grow lights in my loft and consider myself lucky.
