“Dogwoods and Redbuds are blooming here in the Missouri Ozarks.”

Two of my favorites! We can grow the Redbuds (Northern strain of the Eastern), but not the same ‘type’ of Dogwood trees you can have in your zone. We can grow the ‘Pagoda’ type, which are also pretty, but don’t have the fantastic blooms. They bloom, but the flowers are much smaller.

Man, those prices for tomatoes are INSANE! As they say, growing your own food is like printing your own money! ;)

Plus, it tastes so good! :)

To: All

If anyone cares, the Greenhouse project only went $62 over budget because we ruined two panels being dum@sses, LOL! And, as an added bonus, neither of us got hurt requiring a trip to the ER! :)

So, all in all, an 8’x12’ Greenhouse, that wasn’t too hard to build if you have basic building skills and can interpret pictures for instructions, cost us $1,982.09.

The gravel for the pad ran us $200, but we also used some of it to improve the road that goes back to our rental corn/hay/soybean field to the west.
