THE COLD FRAME SOLUTION.
Since we have to start building a greenhouse again, and since we don't really have TIME to start building a greenhouse again...Jesse and I have settled on a temporary fix. The main reason for having a greenhouse this early in the season is to get our seeds started. The heat and light help the little seeds to survive these few more weeks of cold weather, giving them a jump-start before they move to the garden. We decided not to rush and throw together a flimsy greenhouse, and so we are simply building some basic hot boxes, or cold frames, or whatever you want to call them. Some seed-starters. Using several old doors and other materials found all around the farm, Jesse put one together yesterday. I think it will work very nicely! And in the meantime, we can take our time building the greenhouse of our dreams (THIS one, please).
Also, my husband is becoming quite the handyman, because he also finished Wendell's doghouse. He looks so little and lonely sleeping in there now, but one day (soon) he will barely fit in there! Terrifying, I know.
