The Green House

I found myself in the position to have access to a green house where I can grow herbs and vegetables. Well of course I immediately took my friend up on the offer. Since that dark winter day I have sprouted my little seedlings under lights in the basement - spinach, basil, peas, lettuces, rosemary, oregano, etc. Now to a seasoned grower these may be strange things to start. I used these little pellet things and now all I have to do is stick them in the beds in the green house. Really I choose those things because they are the stuff I use daily and can't wait to use them.


 So today ,being a lovely sunny day, I headed across the ally to the green house thinking it would be a good time to clean out the beds and get them ready to stick these little guys in . It took no time at all to clean them up and turn and break up the soil. Now it looks like this.


Now the real question is : is it to early to put my little friends out in their new home? I have no clue but I'm going to try with some of the bigger ones and see how they fare. I'm already dreaming of all the good things that can be made from the products harvested from the green house. I can't wait for the first trip of the year to Spring Break Garden Center to get tomatoes and cucumbers and stuff. Poor Mark just cringes at the thought - more space to plant things,more trips to Val's green house. Hehehe but he'll get over it when he gets to eat the stuff. Gotta love growing things
