Greenhouse is coming along...

So I have been so busy we really worked to the bone last weekend and then went straight back to our day jobs!

Suffice to say that Farmer Ed has done a bang up job putting most of the glass in the greenhouse, and about half the patio blocks. We already have some plants in there but tomorrow promises a LOT of rain and we will have to keep our plans tight til Saturday when we hope we can finish most of the rest of the work.   Anyway, the plants in there, even though only half the structure is enclosed, are doing just great! Wow! No wonder people love greenhouses. The plants are thriving in there.  Our neighbor gave us some Canna lilies and we have some seedlings coming along.

Some pictures:

The entrance side of the greenhouse.; Ed fashioned a vent in the bottom of one window.

Inside view of the greenhouse...  it was much more painting than we thought as I ended up painting most of the beams since they would be exposed.





We are getting closer to a working (albeit small) farm.  I just collected six eggs, we have sold four dozen eggs already this week and we will have at least 14 hens when they all start laying!
