Today we built 4 more raised beds. We used reclaimed wood from our deck rebuild and on old grill cover that did not fit. All we need now is some great soul to fill them with. I love a great day in the garden, especially when we save money.
I love to garden! I love to help others garden! This blog is about my adventures in gardening...good and bad! "A garden is a grand teacher. It teaches patience and careful watchfulness; it teaches industry and thrift; above all it teaches entire trust." ~~Gertrude Jekyll~~

Greenhouse Adventures: Seed Starting
I have started growing seed starts in my greenhouse. I am excited for the possibilities of getting more seed starts which is cheaper than buying them at the local nursery.
Small Greenhouse Seed Starting
This year I am trying seed starting a couple of different ways. I am putting them in my small green house in a south facing window for tomatoes. Hoping that this works! I am thinking I need to add a grow light!

April Garden Chores 2017
April is a busy month getting the garden ready for the big growing season. Here is a list of the chores I am completing this month.
- Expand garden area by putting down weed barrier and constructing a new fence.
- Relocate some containers to the new area for better production.
- Build and add new raised beds.
- Plant peas and beans in raised beds.
- Keep up with seed starts...thin out and transplant into bigger pots.
- Start some warm weather vegetable starts int he greenhouse.
- Plant some herbs in the greenhouse.
- Clean up strawberry pallet area. Add replacement plants to the area.
- Move the old raised bed dirt to the new raised beds I construct.
Bean Teepee
I constructed a bean teepee and then it added in the small raised bed. I am going to plant beans this weekend!
Greenhouse Growing Begins
I am so excited that I got my new to me green house constructed with little to no issues. It is now being used and I already have seed started and some herbs growing in it!
