Is there anything more useful on the farm than junk tires? I think not!

Great set-up. Our plant is to ‘raise’ all of our raised beds as I get older by adding a second ‘layer’ of wooden frames to them.

So, back to the 'Greenhouse' theme. I had fun building this mini-greenhouse from picture frames, this week. I winged it, using Dollar Tree frames, so I could get the basics down on the cheap. About $10 for this first one. I used a combo of Elmer's white glue and E6000 glue:

I plan on using the plans linked below for the next one, as it'll be a bit bigger. The plan is to build a 'village' of them to use as decor around the house, but also at Christmastime. LOVE this in black, but you can paint it any color you want.

Squatting and bending over kills me already. That's ok, I have a kid sitting here.

Just started a germination test on some old seeds today. 6 & 7 years old. Two types of spinach and two types of lettuce. Both are supposed to be good for up to 5 years according to an ag ext publication I have. Got more than I need so even if I get 50% germination, I'll just start 2-3 times as many as I think I'll need.
