Wendy this is my GH made from recycled/repurposed used sliding patio doors and windows, that we had been saving for years. We finally built it two years ago. The right side of picture (south) is built from 4 sliding patio doors. (2 sets) We framed all doors and windows in from recycled lumber...
Asparagus!..Yummy!..Your raised bed gardens are very nice! What variety of asparagus did you plant?
I looked into the garden for evidence of spears poking up..No such luck yet. I planted Mary Washington variety 2 years ago..Unfortunately the weeds are growing like crazy in the area they were...
Lovely garden and photo's. I cant believe you have so much growing and blooming already, when here we just had snow on the ground last week. The Iris and lilacs are lovely..I can smell them now! Thank's for sharing your pics!
Been ordering from B.C for many years now and they always include a free packet of seeds with your order. No matter how big or small the order is. One year I received a free pkt of heirloom Old German tomato seeds, another year they sent a variety of Melon..Noirre de Crimee..another a mixed...
The tomatoes are looking good Chris...Those are some nice roots for the size of the tomato..How many diff. varieties are you growing? What kind are you growing for canning?
Last season I canned 50 quarts of tomatoes and about 15 pints of sauce..I am hoping to get even more this year to can...
Absolutely lovely! I love the Brown stain, and shingles!. You will get so much joy out of it! Please post pic's of your set-up when you get the inside finished and you have seedlings growing..
Chris, everything looks amazing! Your doing a great job! It must be keeping you very busy.
The cabbage seedlings look good. Mine are just now starting to emerge.
Thanks for the update..
Chris, Thanks for sharing your pic's..I really enjoy them.
The basil looks like it has some good roots..I never thought to take cuttings from basil or Coriander..Might have to try that some time...I have some of each started from seed right now that I need to transplant this week...

I save all my containers to..Much to my husbands chagrin, I have them stacked in the garage....:P....Since your tomatoes are around a foot tall and in nice size containers, I would not sell for less than $2 dollars a-piece..JMHO..Good luck!
Chris, Your doing a great job and everything is loking good. Glad you put another vent in..Keep keeping an eye on the temps inside as you dont want it to get to hot..Your cool weather crops will not do as well in hot heat, and little tomato seedlings, once up, will grow stronger and healthier...
Well for half an acre, I see you can still fit in a lot of fruit for your mini orchard, and still have room for garden beds etc... You have quite an assortment of fruit, and a great list. For beauty alone, and the harvest, it will all be worth it..
I did not see strawberries on your list...You...
Very funny and cute as a dickens! Kids say the most innocent , funny things sometimes..
It took mama and my son a long time to plant just one row as, he would inspect each potato before putting it in the potato planter. ...he had a nice nap after that..
Steve, I went back and looked at the list, and about 25 or so will be returning beacause they did awesome in my garden, were productive, healthy, and tasted great for fresh eating, slicing and canning. In fact a larger number did pretty well, but I have new varieties I want to try this year. So...
Mary, The sungold is a terrific cherry. One of the few hybrids I am growing. It was extremely productive for me, and the taste is incredible. When you bite into one..Wow!..My little grandson loved these!..Three heirlooms are better than none as I see it..What three are you growing this year...
What a cute picture! The little garden will bring her much joy . Planting, nuturing, observing their growth...she will be thrilled when the flowers grow and mature, and she can pick them and put them in vases/jars..
Sparks, I to put seed pkt's and other related garden items, in my kids easter...
So far I have planted 70 different varieties of Heirloom tomatoes..Two hybrid varieites..
Transplanted 150 tomato plants this past week, and have about 150 more to go..Transplanting peppers today, and starting some lettuce, spinach and other greens.
Been battling bronchitis the past three...
What size containers are you putting them in? If they are a nice size, and green and stocky, dont sell them to cheap..$2-3 dollars would be the best range..Even roadside.
My elderly mother grows some extra to sell out in her driveway by the road..Heirloom tomatos and herbs..She lives in the...
