The greenhouse is a go!

By Eliot, on November 22nd, 2009%

It is November and the greenhouse is becoming real! I can’t believe it and I can’t wait for it to be done.

We have lots of plans for it and I have already started ordering seeds. I found a new company, Pinetree Seeds, that seems to be reasonable in price and also seems to . . . → Read More: The greenhouse is a go!
