My 10 X 10 portable greenhouse is kaput. I can easily replace the one bent frame pipe, but the cover, alas, is no longer obtainable.
Solved the problem, after looking at others online, by ordering a 10 X 20. I have a better location for it, and that will face it E->W, putting the long side on the south. The extra space will be partially taken up with garden tool & tiller storage.
It will be outside the northern fence of the garden, and I’ll use steel t-posts to anchor it. May install a gate in that fence line, for convenience.
MIGHT do some tilling this coming week; perhaps put in an early planting of spinach & carrots.
I went to Bomgaar’s Supply (https://www.bomgaars.com/) here in town, and bought 100 onion sets, hand-picked. I’m usually stuck with buying the little mesh bags of 100, which usually contain closer to 200 puny sets, of which maybe 50 grow half decently. My 100 weigh over twice as much as one of those little mesh bags, and all are plump & healthy.
I also picked up some russet and Yukon Gold seed potatoes; they’re currently both sprouting more eyes; and developing out the ones they had when I picked them out of the bins.
Need to get more, since I’ll actually have time to garden this year: after 6-1/2 years at Taco John’s, I’m now re-retired.
About 3 weeks ago I talked Mrs. A.R. into taking advantage of a good sale on some great celery, and picked out 6 big, heavy heads. Broke out the Excalibur, and dried 4 of them, and used the other two fresh.
Don’t toss those celery stubs! I’m growing all of my own celery this year from ‘stubs’ that I’ve cut off of purchased celery and rooted in water. They’re going in the ground soon!
Our greenhouse is situated in the same direction. We had to repair it today because 2x a year we get AWFUL winds from the East. Modifications were made, today. :)
