I want a greenhouse so very badly! Alas, we probably won’t get one done this yearP> You and I are in the same boat.

Although we could still easily pull together a small cold frame.

I probably could a well, but I'm not going to go to the bother. Hubby has been doing the renovations on our Pastor's house and the next big project is replacing the windows. The replacement windows have already been delivered and we get to keep the ones he removes. He's going to build my "greenhouse" out of them.

Found out I can grow hot peppers like nobody’s business! LOL

I was always able to do that, until last year :( I plan on winning the garden battle this year.

LOL, you’re a kindred spirit! I saw a plan somewhere for using old storm windows (and doors!) and showed it to hubby. He is actually getting kinda excited about the idea. Especially since he’s been eating fresh-as-sunshine-tasting tomatoes and green beans this winter. Not to mention those heavenly peaches I canned. $20 for a half bushel at the Mennonite markets. I canned a whole bushel one week. That weekend I went to the farmers market (for ritzy and artsy liberal type folk) and they wanted $8 for a tiny little basket of much inferior peaches. harrumph. Mine were already lined up waiting their transformation into yummilicious deserts this winter.
