Green Thumb 2

Well, the green house that was going to be built on the old swing set has had conditions put upon it. I can use it, but I have to make it safe for my nephew to play on it. The whole unit is heavily rusted, and in need of some serious sanding and rust proof painting. It wasn't that bad of a job sanding it down, especially once I gave up on sanding it by hand, and set up the sand blaster. The rust literally flew off. I even managed to find a couple of old cans of tremclad kicking around, so I didn't even have to spend a nickel on the project.


I still have to put a couple of more coats of paint on the unit, before I can start building the green house. In the mean time I have started a half barrel garden in another part of the yard. Its planted with peas, alpine strawberry's, oregano, and will eventually have a tomato plant in the middle of the planter.

Since we have had a couple of nice days in a row, and the daytime ave. temperatures are starting to hit double digit numbers. I declare it gardening season. I love to garden, but not for flowers... I am a farmer at heart, so its vegetable crops for me. I would dearly love a large yard that I was allowed to dig up, but alas I must make due with what I am allowed. This is the future home of the "Pre-Memorial Bruce Campbell Vegetable Garden, & Zombie Reburial Ground"




A 30 year old swing set / monkey bar combo, that My dad welded up for my brother and I. I need to find the canoe a new home, and box in the whole thing with poly for a green house. I already have some evil plans for gravity feed watering systems.

I have a lot of work to do.
