That's why I built the hoophouse. I'm hoping to expand the unpredictable end of the season.
That said. I finished the vent system for the hoophouse. I still need to screw down the base (battery died). I need to add one more zip tie, smoke started a coughing fit, didn't want to walk the 150 yards to the shop and back again. Started sprinkling and got very dark and cloudy, so I'll need a good sunny day to test it out. ::::Crossing fingers::::
If it works REALLY well I might make another for the greenhouse.
Hens are still locked up. I've got one with health issues in there, but it's crop or digestive or who knows what. Every few months she spends a couple days sitting around like a penguin instead of a chicken, and then she's fine again. So what ever it is, it'll either work itself out, or not. She's just now 1 tomorrow.
Merriweather, the 8 year old, who has her own suite and free range of the heated workshop, decided that she was going on walkabout today outside the shop. SURPRISED the heck out of me! She never goes out without a person or a rooster, and she doesn't have a rooster anymore. She must have followed DH out when he came out to grab me a battery. She walked around the entire perimeter of the workshop, and then went back in. LOL. Such an old goof.
Primed the henhouse door and put one paint on one side. I'll putter with that this week. WIll pick up more seeds tomorrow as well while I'm out and start those in open trays and transplant in cells to save sanity.
