So while my chicks are growing, roughly six or seven just waiting to come into this world, I decided to start the next project: gardening. So this greenhouse sat sadly in the box since my last birthday. My birthday is in April 😦 I know that sounds terrible, but better now than ever.
So I sat, building this starter greenhouse, and developing a plan as to what fruit and vegetables I will want to grow. The ultimate plan is to grow and can. So my greenhouse will serve as the seed starter until I can transpose into the ground when it is warmer.
Planning a garden is as complex as anything else. Certain things need to grow next to each other because they grow better or taste better. Also, I have to decide what kind of greenhouse am I going to have outside. Do I do a couple hoop houses? Do I do organic and regular? How much land do I want to use? Do I go big and incorporate aquaphobics from the beginning? Do I obtain my license to sell my canned goods to cafes and restaurants or just stick to farmers markets? Do I use some of my chicken manure to make a mixture for fertilizer? So many decisions……
Who would ever thought all this hard work would actually be therapeutic? Gives me a sense of purpose, a mission to look forward too, and most importantly a sense of courage and inspiration. I can do this and can’t wait to see the greens start growing.
I used one of those for a few years, I then upgraded to one you can stand in with shelves on both side. one side for seedlings and the other side for my herbs. Also nice to stand in in winter

Sorry it’s been awhile since I’ve been on. Did you like your first one? I figured I’d start seeds now in the winter so come May I can put in the ground

Most things take a few days to a week to germinate then depending on what you have growing they stay in the green house from 4-8 weeks then you can plant them.
Just woke up also had my sisters wedding last night. So give me an hour or so and I may give better advice lol
