Getting a Little Cozy in Here!

The sunroom is getting a little full - it's hard to move around, let alone water without bumping into a flat of plants.  The potential for a disaster (and a messy, dirt-every-where kind of disaster) is high.  So, the question is:  is it time to fire up the greenhouse?  We always pause a bit before making the decision.  The greenhouse was built by Farmer Man's father and, like the house, is kind of 'cobbled' together.  Left-over wood, windows from an old fifth-wheel trailer, it's not really high-efficiency.  It can be really expensive to run.  Now, the weather is very good currently, temperatures above average.  But will it stay that way?  Is it worth the move now?  Farmer Man has been potting up peppers, tomatoes and herbs all week and there are more to go.  And we have to start seeding broccoli, cabbage and such.  We need the elbow room, and soon!  So, start piling things into the living room?  Or boot up the greenhouse?

  1. I have moved to the greenhouse (I will put up a pic soon) but it sure takes a lot more care as the nights still drop below 0C and the days can be quite warm. But the plant room was full! Your plants look great.

  2. Our greenhouse does have a little furnace, that also warms Jes' shop. Is yours heated?

  3. Everything looks wonderful, sis! You and Farmer Man have obviously been very busy. Here's hoping for a tremendous 2010 growing season.
