Isn’t having a greenhouse SUCH a LUXURY? I know you grew up in ‘The Biz’ but, still! I left a small one behind at my other farm, but Beau has built me such a beauty out here at our ‘new’ farm. I still pinch myself on a weekly basis, these many years (and needed repairs) later!
I’m going to start salad greens out there, using the system I used from fall into winter. Just double-checking the night-time lows for the near future, and I’m gonna hit it! :)
Visited my parents place today, brought them lunch. The first set of greenhouses are almost full. Nice and warm and humid in there.
cheers
2 more days in Texas.
Met with 1 homebuilder yesterday and mtg another today.
The one one I met yesterday brought his wife along. She hasba big garden also.
The 14 degree temps they had last week killed off everything in her greenhouse.
I think she may grow flowers for sale because she was lamenting the loss of some ferns she had for over a decade. I cannot think of a reason to keep ferns other than for filling out a bouquet with a few friends.
Soon I will be back in Washington State and can tend to my babies.
The red Swiss chard which I dropped a seed in the gravel walkway of my greenhouse 3 yrs ago and it keeps returning. The wife spotted it yesterday and took a photo.
I was thinking the wife deserved a reward for tending the seed starts so I told her she could try and transplant it today of she wanted to.
Really though, I like to see it surviving I 3/8 minus gravel doing no watering or any upkeep just to keep me humble. It is a reminder nature is better at this stuff than I am.
