Smile My greenhouse is done!!! happy dancin here.

Finally I have a green house again. Of course I know it is way way too late to plant but I have some 4 year old seeds that someone gave me so I stuck them in the ground last Sunday (the day the g-house got done) Went out today to water and the corn, beans, squash, cantalope, watermelon, lettuce, squash and cukes are all up! In only 5 1/2 days that is pretty good. Course it could snow at any moment.

My neighbor gave me an ancient rototiller that did not work and I thought maybe I could get it running with some help from DH of course. Turned out the only thing it needed was a small part whose name I, of course, cant remember right now. We took one off an old chipper we are not using right now and the tiller goes like a champ. It is a 1966 model! tilled my whole 20x40 greenhouse pad and then tilled in the compost too after we dug up a thousand rocks. I feel like I am the queen of the mountain!

Congratulations on the new GH. I would be bereft without mine.

Happy dances indeed!

Is your greenhouse a home-made one or a kit?
How about a pic or two if it is home-made?
