So, this year we planted seeds for the following: Asparagus, pea, green bean, mustard, cucumber, zucchini, dill, parsley, cauliflower, broccoli, tomato, peppers, chilli pepper, pumpkin, potato, yellow onion, red onion, romain lettuce, carrots, kale, chard, and spinach. Plus a boat load of flowers; from morning glories to forget me knots. (We also picked up some strawberry plants at Lester’s Farm later in the spring and planted them in our yard).

We did most of this inside the garage again. Although we got the greenhouse closed in last fall, its still way too cold for them. Except we were getting some bright sunny days in a row! So, we carried each tray of seedlings and some pots to the greenhouse from the garage. We started to notice a big difference in the run of one day. It was great. Kept checking weather seeing that nice days were turning into colder not so nice days….we would then bring everything back to the garage again. We did this about 4 or 5 times until I was tired of it. I decided to close off the “attic” part of the greenhouse with some poly to try and keep heat down where the plants were. I ran a cord out to it and plugged in our infrared heater for a few hours in the night time. I remember automatically waking up at 2am, 4am, etc to run out to the greenhouse in my house coat – could be snow on the ground – just to check to make sure the temp was ok and that the heater was running properly. Tough few weeks with it, but we managed.
