What did you do in the garden today?

I took my pup to the vet yesterday afternoon and the little girl behind the counter almost didn’t want to take my debit card

Which pup might that be IM

My daughter trimmed some sweet potato vines, she already got the taters, and herbs were topped off a bit (we gave the greens to the very happy chooks)!

Abby. She has allergies, I think they’re seasonal, so just wanted to have her looked at and get a second opinion.

So I hate my allergies have them all year long.
I can commiserate with her there

I have more tomatoes than I can use - anybody want some ?

Yeah me too. I take an allergy pill every day with a migraine prevention drug.

I can't wait to build a greenhouse!

I hope you take pictures. I had so much fun building this one I plan to make crappy ones out of bamboo and cheap plastic sheets. The one I built was initially designed that way until I realized that it could add value to the house if I made it look nice.

I am considering small tent greenhouses over my raised beds and getting all the peppers I am propagating into the ground a month before frost so when April hits they have rooted and take off so much sooner. Same with Tomatoes, the same frame I use for an A-Frame plastic tent over Tomatoes can be used to to support tomatoes on a string hanging down.

I had considered putting my seramas in my greenhouse until I realized raccoons would just claw/chew their way through the plastic and break in. Now I am considering building a hardware cloth A-Frame type of coop with 3 sections, 1 side a greenhouse/hardware cloth, middle an indoor area shaded with food and water, other side just hardware cloth when it gets too hot on the greenhouse side. there have been issues with it getting too cold for seramas here for about a week or 2 in winter. One year I brought them in the house in rabbit cages and by morning you could smell them but once I cleanup the cardboard they pooped on and got it out to the compost the smell went away. I only had to bring them in overnight. a Greenhouse connected to a coop should retain heat overnight to keep them from literally freezing. I just wonder why it took me so long to construct my first greenhouse. Been living here for 13 years and just now I decide to build a greenhouse.
