Our greenhouse is up!

Wow, nice greenhouse! My only critical comment is that it's way too SMALL!

Seriously, it looks great! Nice installation job.

And you know the old saying, without overly ambitious deadlines, nothing would get done!

Thanks Tim.

It's the biggest we could fit...i wasn't going to give up anymore garden space!

Great post Darryl! That was some work just putting together the pictures and stories. It looks swell and I know your plants will be even happier with controlled conditions.

For me the greenhouse was about survival! Right now as I look out the window, there is snow comming down!

Well more like sleet I guess or as the weather channel likes to call it "wintery mix"!

Anyway, don't forget to leave room in the greenhouse for the 1000's of seedlings in the cactus condo!

Thanks Daiv.

lol...sounds like a cocktail
Barkeep! 1 wintery mix on the rocks, hold the chill

I certainly hope the seedlings will have room...good thing they are small

That's always the problem. Seed flats beget 2" pots which beget 4" pots, then 1 gallon nursery cans - better talk to your neighbor about knoking down their house.

Or just let the plants slowly climb over the wall and *make* them move

Good job Darryl. I had confidence you'd get it donesomeday.
If I lived a little closer I'd been in there with ya sweating out all those cold ones

Oh, those threaded sticks are commonly known as "allthread" and they can be a lifesaver.

Good job Bud
