Merril has a friend that was selling a greenhouse because he was moving. So Merril bought it for me. It goes back to a long-time ambition of mine to grow things in a greenhouse. It's just one of those things I've always wanted way in the back of my mind. Merril also said that he's seen me toil with the weeds, heat and wind and wanted to make gardening easier for me. First task: Soil prep. The soil in my backyard is mostly rocks, gravel, and clay. So my garden is all outside soil. The greenhouse was going to be too close to the trees so the garden was moved a little from it's previous location. I'm digging out some nasty weeds, something like a morning glory, that won't pull up. They break off and leave the roots. Super annoying. I've tried killing it with Roundup and that doesn't seem to kill it either. Urg.
Mikayla was cheery and ate her meals outside while I was digging.
Here's Merril with the greenhouse on a trailer. It's a baby one, 8 ft x 12 ft, but it's a good beginner greenhouse. I'm hoping to grow some amazing veggies. Fingers crossed!
