Projects and Goals!
The first picture is dad next to the greenhouse cover he built for one of the raised beds! I got the idea from Off Grid with Doug and Stacy. We have had the window for many years waiting for the right project and dad bought the wood and he also picked up the hardware from Habitat for Humanity. He made it so when it gets too warm you can prop the window up to let cool air in. He's pretty brilliant! Once the snow is gone and the temps are a bit higher I hope to start some salad seeds. You know, lettuce, cukes and maybe some carrots. I'm excited to get it going. I miss the home grown greens during the winter months.
The next picture is of some herbs that I planted using mason jars. I got the idea from Living Traditions Homestead and it is a self watering project. I'll let you know how it works out. I planted basil, thyme, parsley and lettuce. Yes, I know lettuce isn't an herb but the vlogger had some great success with lettuce using this method.
So it may be cold, snowy, and gray but we are keeping busy and looking forward to the summer when we can really be growing our food!
