    Getting a Green house

    I know that is the reason I went with that one. I know I have warmer weather then JackB so I am hoping that even if I screw stuff up for a while I won't be too bad. I have had no luck with rosemary so I am hoping that I can put a plant in there.

    Getting a Green house

    Thanks for all the help and advise. It is a great help. I have watched several YouTube vidoes on this greenhouse some do's and don'ts. I am feeling better about the construction.

    Something different.

    My daughter Eve is 7 and I was showing her Ava's touches in the greenhouse thinking she would want to help me more. Nope she didn't look at all impressed. Maybe it was because it was the little green giant. She did ask for a wheel barrow for Christmas so she can help move flowers in it. I...

    Ahead of schedule

    I have 2 heavy double paned sliding glass doors from when we replace ours a couple of years ago. I am wondering if I built a raised bed inside the greenhouse using one of the doors (super heavy) what kind of temps I could have in the cold months? I have a book on year round gardening and it in...

    Don't like what they're saying about you? Buy the company.

    I have a friend that is a Dr. and he went on a health care rant on Facebook a couple weeks ago about if the govt wanted to do anything about healthcare .... then stop the GMO foods.... and on and on. No reason for me to repeat it because we know the issue.s Anyway this is coming from a medical...

    Getting a Green house

    I thought about building a tunnel greenhouse. I even have the plastic but I just wasn't sure it would hold up in the wind. The tunnel was going to away from my house in an unprotected area. The greenhouse will be closer to the house and be completely protected from the north wind. The west ...

    Getting a Green house

    Yeah the YouTube was great because the guy was showing that if you put the clips in pointing down (I think a lot of people put the up and the panels can fly out) then it holds them in securely. It was very helpful. We live in a very windy spot. Up on a hill in South East Ohio. I also read that...

    Ahead of schedule

    That made me hungry just reading it. I just order a greenhouse from Habor Freight today so I am excited to try tomatoes and cucumber as soon as I can. I will be getting a thermometer that records high and low temps. I almost went into the hydroponics store last night but was too tired from...

    Getting a Green house

    The deed is done. I have ordered an awesome greenhouse from habor freight which is the best price of the greenhouses I have seen. It also has solider (I don't know if that is a word) panels than the snap and grow. I also watched a video on YouTube on how to put the panels in which is the big...

    Getting a Green house

I know I have serious committment issue and have to research and look and think about it forever (about everything not just this). Anyway, I have the money, the greenhouse picked out and even laborers for the...

    So what's with the weather?

    Honestly, I don't think the argument is global warming as much as "man made" global warming. I do not believe in this. The earth has been going through cycling climate changes for billions of years and man has not been on earth for billions of years. I think the earth is changing (as it always...

    So what's with the weather?

    Yes that is what I am thinking and I didn't have parsley this time last year. I had some for Thanksgiving last year be none for Christmas. . . this year I will be having parsley for Christmas dinner and my thyme is beautiful.

    Container Gardening advice needed....

    I would be too temped to make them useful. Instead of the traditional spike.... what about some chives in the middle. Some pansy for awesome color and they are nice in a salad maybe a useful lettuce blend to add some texture and then some thyme that can hang down in the front for a beautiful...

    So what's with the weather?

    Ok if you are getting snow it may get cold here. I know that MT had nice weather last week and the snow was gone and that's what they had last year. I am still leaning toward mild winter. I have already recruited labors for building the green house. You know if we do get snow.... it will help...

    Where is everybody?

    I kinda like the traditional boxwood. It is very nice in a formal garden. I am going to be redoing my yard with an english garden (to include a tea garden surrounding a lovely sitting area) before my son graduates this year. I will still have my little Evy at home, she is 7 and will love the...

    So what's with the weather?

    We are moist. I don't think we need bunches of rain. We also had a dry summer but it has been better since late summer. We had such a warm winter last year and I wasn't sure if they were calling for another warm winter. If it looks it I am going to put in a green house. I have been wanting one...

    How to Give Eggs for Christmas When the Hens Aren't Laying!

    I have 7 hens and last year 2 went brood.... 5 did not. I got a pretty far group of chicks and 4 new hens. Had some roosters go to freezer camp last month. If you only have 1 she probably won't go broody.
