Long Time, No Post

Until 1/8/08, the Corporate 'hellhole' and trying to start and keep half of a greenhouse business alive left little time for anything else.

Once the greenhouse construction was complete, only the largest one was functional and being used. Wiring had not been completed on the smaller one and we still needed to purchase a heater. Over the summer of 2006, the smaller house grew an luscious crop of weeds, most of which was some kind of demon bermuda. The stuff actually grows up through and out the top of the polycarb corrugate on the ends of the greenhouses. I expect any day to hear the words "Feeeed me" eminating from its wiry runners and blades! It took some doing (translated 'major work') to get the weeds under control. My husband ended up putting 2 layers of ground cover down and we added even more gravel. Hopefully, the demon grass is now controllable. The next step will be to keep a decent swath killed back around the perimeter of both houses.

With the 2nd house now operational it was time to revamp the first house (pull/kill weeds, patch gravel, etc.) You can be assured there is ALWAYS something to do in a greenhouse.
