Finally, we're getting back our little sunroom/sitting room! Well, almost. As seedlings have been planted, more trays of seedlings can go up to the greenhouse. Today, we're able to take out two of the three folding tables that have been holding trays of seedlings. The third table has to stay for now, holding winter squash seedlings, which are looking great! The light-stand will stay for now, too, as it is nurturing the last seeding of herbs, and some oddities like eggplant. What's left after the tables come out? A great big mess! I haven't been able to really reach the two bookcases in the room, so they are thick with dust. And, even though we try to be careful, we've splashed, splooshed, dropped and gooped our way around this little room since February. So, a thorough cleaning is in order and then our little sitting room is ours again. It's a beautiful place to sit on a late Spring evening. Birds are coming and going from the feeder and bird bath, we can hear Rocky crowing about his good day, the doggies may be playing on the grass beside the windows and sometimes wildlife will wander by! We just have to get through the cleaning......

De-constructing the Grow Op

Extra Insulation
Not only are we wearing tons of extra layers these days, but Farmer Man also added an extra layer to the sunroom. We love our little sunroom: we hang out there in the spring and fall, start seeds there in late winter and it's the only natural light onto our kitchen. In the winter, it is really toooo cold to enjoy. So, the last couple of years, Farmer Man has piled straw bales around and it really helps! The bales probably keep the temperature five degrees higher than it would be otherwise. We're still not really 'hanging' in the sunroom these days, but it keeps the plants happier!
