What did you do in the garden today?

[BReeder!]

There is a trick to get the panel clips in, and I wish I could remember what it was. I remember I held on to them with needlenose pliers and a slight twist. Once you get it, you get it.

I'll have to check out a YouTube video. They don't look that complicated... but then again I had the idea I would get this whole thing up in 1 day.

I had to let the dogs out after DW and I got home from a few drinks and appetizers. I decided to grab a picture of the greenhouse since I was out there anyway even though it's dark.

I'm going to put a 10" high flow exhaust fan with louvers in the back (to the right) up high. I'm debating on where to put low vents to let cooler air in and how low they need to be. Should I cut holes in the 2x12s at the base? I'm thinking about using wall registers (aka: HVAC vent covers) with window screen behind them to keep unwanted pests out.
Anybody have opinions on the inlet locations? I'm thinking the front (to tge left in the pic), but the sides are also options.

They aren't complicated @BReeder! just stiff and many. LOL.
DH said he remembers me switching from the pliers to a flat screwdriver and using it as a lever to pop and slide it into place.
You'll do a couple and get it and come up with a plan.
It took us a LONG day to do it in March from dawn to just past dark, with only a quick lunch break for the man while I drove to get the new door part. He kept building the door and window vents while I was gone for the 2 hour drive.
And lord knows, the chickens were of no help at all.

Mine are on the long sides and one low in the back. Squirrels eat through window screening and the vents aren't screened. You could use wire mesh, like 1/2 inch and feed the vent posts (you were upgrading to auto open) through the screening maybe? Lower the better for the vents. Plants appreciate airflow. Easy to put a hole through the wood, but larger holes are hard to hole saw through (darn hole bits are $$ at 3" plus)
Looks great BTW!

OH HVAC vents!!! ya! the things in the floor and walls. I have those in the large hoophouse. That is easy too. Rectangles are easier to cut. And the little lever means you can open and close for air.

I started some lettuce, spinach, onions, and broccoli.

Found new growth on the lemon tree. It must be happy again

Snowing here. I have cabin fever and garden fever. I ordered some seeds. Spring is the only cure.

Doing seed inventory today! Made it Radishes before church (seeds are in ABC order). So far I have enough to plant this year, but making my tentative check list for 2024. Lol. I have to know that I am going to buy new seeds eventually!

Good morning gardeners. We had four cockerels to deal with and today I’m starting my watering schedule, it has been a while since I’ve had to do that. The teenager worked on some weeds yesterday. Today we’re doing some more of that and I’m cleaning the coop up a bit. I need to get the nest boxes back into the big coop so I can prep the small one for chicks in a few weeks. Got our pile for bulk trash to straighten up and prep for moving out to the curb, and I found a few plant cages that have been knocked over that I need to fix. I also moved one of the frames that was around one of the fruit trees to a new spot so I can plant some grass seed for them once the weather warms a little bit. I have a spot picked out for another one too, but haven’t dealt with that yet. I aim to get all the trimming done this week after work since we’ll top out in the 60s all week. Also, the teenager is going to plant his alyssum in the shade garden. I bought some native wildflower seed too, forgot about that. I’m going to make a bed in the front yard where our waterline runs and plant them there.
