WOW! What’s the oldest headstone that’s still readable? We have some very old cemeteries in our state, too. Lots of Civil War markers for our Brave Boys. And they WERE just BOYS for the most part. :(

Begun is half done, Right? RIGHT?!?! WHAT a mess!

The only way IN is THROUGH...or something like that!

Finished set-up. Cleaned up, de-cluttered, de-junked and a place for everything!

Storage for long tools and trash.

The beautiful planting flats that Beau made for me. When items on the shelf below go outside for the season, I can easily fit up to 30 flats of stuff in here, now!

Water storage for spring seedlings, before the hoses get hooked up for the season.

Storage for flats and humidity trays and recycled starting pots.

Beau ran a rod across the top of the greenhouse for hanging storage of my gathering baskets and misc. items. I'm short, so I don't bump my head.

Potting area. Beau cut me a piece of plywood for a better potting surface. The storage below holds the HUGEMONGUS bag of Miracle Grow potting mix. The little 'greenhouse' to the left can hold 4 flats and is an upgrade from my bags-o-dirt and storage containers that I used in the past. With this double layer of protection, I should be able to start salad greens out there in March! Yippee!

Lastly, I have ONE bale of straw left over, so that's in there too until spring. I was thinking I'd find lots of mice and/or evidence, but I just found one mouse that had fallen into a bucket and couldn't get out.

ALL of my 16 beds are now cleaned out and mulched with straw and the tomato cages are back in the milk house where they are stored for the winter. I have pretty much a Clean Slate for Spring planting. And I am going to pay for this with sore muscles tomorrow, but that's what OTC Meds and Ben Gay are for, Right? LOL! So HAPPY to have had this blessing of warm weather to get this done!
