Well, the weather turned, it's been pouring rain for a week, and hasn't gotten much above 50* all that time. We had some nights in the mid 30*s as well. Those squash transplants died on the first cold night, but I just direct sowed more seed next to 'em, which I think will do just fine. Due to the weather and a big new project, I've been out of the garden, but guess what?
I built a greenhouse! I'll do a thread on it, but it's all part of this big picture I've been working on since we started this forum this winter. Due to the RMH being so awesome, I no longer need so much wood storage. The South side of my house has a 32' long shed roof, 12' wide running along it. It was OSB and three tab asphalt roofing, and was the woodshed. I could put about 10 cords in there. Don't need it any more, and of course the OSB was rotting. Well, as of last weekend, the old roof is gone, and double wall polycarbonate is on the truck to me as we speak. I'm sooooo excited! I'll get some pics up in a new thread when the roofing gets here, for now I have greenhouse film over it to keep it dry and it's amazing having that bright space where there was dark, dank and rotting wood chips.
