Saving the Greenhouse!

While the grandchildren were here, I turned my back on the greenhouse for those 2 weeks. It dawned on me yesterday that I'd better go out there and take care of it. First, I needed a hearty breakfast... sourdough whole wheat pancakes, butter, maple syrup, a farm fresh egg and some milk kefir:



Next, I put on Silicone Glove and ran soap under my fingernails:



Here I am, all ready to get to work!




Yikes!!!!



The kale is all going to seed:



The Swiss chard is calling for help!



The weeds (this is dock) are rejoicing:



50 degrees outside the greenhouse, 72 inside:



The first wheelbarrow load going to the compost:



And the second.....:



Baby tomato plants:



Bunching onions:



Now the Swiss Chard can breathe:



A few leaf lettuces that survived the winter:



Voila!



That only took 2 hours of work. And was a lot of fun!

  4. It's fine. I will plant the sweet potatoes in there in a couple of days, and then I won't plant anything until September. It gets too hot!
