The Greenhouse build-out is slow - we need to wait for more frost to get out of the ground so we can level the site and add the gravel pad, then pack that down tight.
Next week I’ll be starting my tomatoes and peppers, but I plan on buying most of what I need for this season already started from Jung’s or my local Walmart, which sells the Bonnie Best brand of veggie plants and herbs. Beau is making me four more raised beds; one will be dedicated to Asparagus.
Garlic is poking up, as are the chives and a few tulips that were all planted last fall...so there’s HOPE!
We totally dodged the big snowstorm that came through the Midwest last night; our neighbors in Iowa got socked, but it went south of us - Hurrah! :)
Chilly, blustery day, so we’re cooking down the rest of the sap for Maple Syrup and should have that sticky, messy chore out of the way by the end of the weekend.
I’ve been down most of the week with the mother of all head colds. Blech! Finally surfacing today after a full week; I even missed a shopping trip to The Big City with my BFFS. Grrr!
I am SO looking forward to warmer weather! :)

yum! I would love to be able to do that. I was told at Maples grow here, so I need to find a good spot to plant some.
I was surprised at how slow our build went with the greenhouse we ordered. Since we already had a concrete pad.
However, that pad was not level, in order to drain away from the house. So hubby had to bust out the concrete where the greenhouse would sit, in order to pour level footing.
We are still getting some leakage around the door when it rains, but the floor itself slopes toward a drain. Hubby has managed to find and fix other areas of leakage.
I ordered a few herb plants - stevia, rosemary, and tarragon.
