I decided it would be a good idea to show the progression of the 2009 gardens by starting from the beginning when the snow has finally melted - barring any ridiculous late season snowstorm (which has happened more than once before).
Last weekend Pat and I built greenhouses to give our various seedlings a bit of an extra boost. It was a fun project and cost us only about $40 in supplies for the two of them. It took us the afternoon of the 14th to make them, but they came out great. Pat made more of a walk-in type with shelving inside and I build more of a chest style that will allow me to lift up the top for access to the plants. Both will work well. Unfortunately the plastic on mine has already ripped from the winds on Wednesday, so I may need to do some taping to prevent it from happening again. Here is a pic of the one I built.
A few weeks ago our friends Kyle & Kristina and I bought seeds together from Burpee. Last Wednesday after they arrived we divided them up so we'd each have some to play with. I had some seeds left over from last year and I picked up a couple from Home Depot as well. On Sunday I drafted up a schedule of when I need to start the seeds - inside and out. I'll be doing my first planting this weekend. Onions and Impatients are first up!
