My Greenhouse is here!!!!!

My greenhouse is here and waiting to be assembled.
I ordered an 8x16 greenhouse kit. I have always wanted one.
My husband is retiring this summer and he wants to  put in a LARGE garden this year. 

I have bought 52 packs of seed. Green beans, Sugar Snap Peas, Bell Pepper, Broccoli, Cauliflower, Lettuce, Cukes, Collards, Carrots, Squash, Swiss Chard, Gourd, Pumpkins, onion and herbs.

We buy some of our tomato plants. They will be mostly for making tomato juice. My husband makes his own juice. 

I have plants that I cram into my house to over winter and they struggle to survive. Now they will have a home of their own. I also love orchids and I don't have any luck with them in the house. I will try them in the greenhouse. Hopefully they will do better there. 

We are waiting for 2 days of warmer temps to put the greenhouse up. It may be April before that happens. It is 25 degrees one day and 55 the next.  It's hard to plan anything. So I will keep looking at the seed catalogs and waiting for Spring to come. I can hardly wait.

Photos will come as soon as we can get started. See you then.
