Finished Greenhouse

The greenhouse has been just about finished for a while now and is already home to some lovely cabbage and onion seedlings.




There are a few more things to do - install more shelving, paint the inside walls, fix the spot where the rain comes in if the wind is blowing from the south! It's a very specific leak - luckily for us, the weather has been a bit odd of late and we found the problem much more quickly than we anticipated. Not that we anticipated a leak because the wind never, ever blows from the south, especially not while it is raining.

Leak or no leak, I love our recycled window greenhouse and it is a nice place to sit and have a coffee when it is just a little too chilly to sit outside.

Greenhouse Progress

It is starting to look like a greenhouse. We are using old storm windows that we found on Craigslist. Hopefully it will be warm enough tomorrow to get the frames painted. We still need a few more windows, but will block in the spaces with plywood for now. We have an old storm door that will go next to where Jack is standing and another glass panel that we will use on the back wall to allow light into the barn (which will have walls eventually).
We have clear roof panels ready to install - you can see those resting on the milking stanchion. I would really like to get those on before it rains again.
