Greenhouse Goes Up

April 17, 2009
After several configurations of greenhouses, both at the house and the farm, our new greenhouses are up at the farm. Heavy-duty plastic over metal frames from Menards, this go-round. Hub placed the frame on top of leveled cedar posts cut from our woods. He placed two 6'x8' greenhouses side-by-side and used both of the door ends so we have a door on both the west and east sides. He then had our eldest daughter sew velco strips so he could attach the bottom sides around the cedar logs to control flapping in the wind. When we need to get more air into the greenhouse, we just have to undo the velcro and roll up the sides. Very handy! They are in the northeast corner of the orchard, which is enclosed by deer and snow fencing.
