Our journey of raising chickens,gardening,wildlife, dogs and mountain living. We can food such as pickles,jams, and recently learned about bread!We are organic in every way.This year we ditched all the amendments we used to buy in spring to feed our gardens, we are reaping the benefits of the compost pile we started. The circle of sustainability is growing.Along the way one of our special hens laid the biggest egg in America. Figured we must be doing something right!

Veggies from the greenhouse
It's pouring outside right now. In the greenhouse on the hill everything is nice and cozy. The seeds of all the veggies and melons we started two weeks ago will grow at such a fast rate now. Our ideal planting time is Mothers Day here. I say ideal..!!! We went through three plantings one spring of tomatoes, peppers, and zucchini. I'm so grateful we planted extra that year. The last two years we got together with some great friends who don't have a greenhouse and we Mass plant trays and trays of our food we plan on eating and for canning later. They bring their bag of seeds and STERILE soil ( A MUST) and within a couple of hours of talking and planting we have all the food we need and enough to share! A little bit of money and we end up with the best food I've ever tasted. And did I mention Jeff made this greenhouse pretty economically in a day. I will include photos later of the greenhouse.

I plant like that in my greenhouse also! Plus, we eat lettuce and arugula all winter from the greenhouse.
ReplyDeleteWe also eat sprouts that I grow in Mason jars on my window sills in the winter.
Can't wait to see photos of your greenhouse!
