Beverly House.
As you know, from a previous post, I have a tiny garden. I start preparing for this year’s planting plan early. In January I purchased a tiny greenhouse for my tiny garden. I started planting seeds for my garden in February. My kitchen was the birth place for all the little sprouts. On a shelf under a grow light were eight plastic pans with ten to twelve little pots in each. (I re-purposed To Go containers and coffee pods) I planted a few varieties of tomatoes at first. Later came cucumbers and squash. Then some Cosmos and Hollyhocks. I have had some success.
After the winter finally decided to loosen it’s grip and the hard pack snow melted away, my husband put up the tiny greenhouse for me.
I didn’t realise using a greenhouse would be such a challenge. One needs to be mindful about temperatures and humidity and probably things I haven’t even experienced yet. However I have loved it.
After the tiny greenhouse was up and a tiny heater/fan in place I started moving some of the more established seedlings in. It was late March and Early April. Normal planting season isn’t until mid May in this area, so I was feeling well ahead of that. And hopeful.
As the seedlings got moved out to the greenhouse the vacancy under the grow light got filled with more seeds. I am hoping to be able to ground plant or rather transplant the plants in the greenhouse in a timely fashion to garden. ( last frost is usually May 10th-ish or after all the snow is off a local mountain. the local I’m timers would say and it has proved true ) Then I will move the last of the kitchen seedling in that vacancy.
That’s the plan. The experimental experience for this year’s garden. And since my garden’s name is Beverly I call the tiny greenhouse Beverly House. Haha! why not! Looking forward to watching things grow.
