About five weeks ago, my spouse and I began unearthing one of our greenhouses. The houses have sat empty since 2006 when I became quite ill. I have spent years trying to figure out how to use these since I am now limited on the amount of weight at which I can pick up. Getting crops to market just wasn't in the cards as they say.... Finally, I decided that I would try my hand at veggie gardening instead of the commercial perennial production that we had been doing, in the past. I figured that I could feed my family and enjoy my houses once again. There isn't too much heavy lifting involved and it is a lot easier to pull out fresh produce a little at a time instead of hauling those 500-600 pound carts full of perennials.
Things are humming right along and we now have crops in the ground throughout most of the house. It sure feels good using these again! I love walking to spring when the weather is bitter cold outside and it is a balmy 60 or 70 degrees in the hoophouse! The smell of damp earth and seeing new growth is exciting when it is the dead of winter outside. I hope to take the camera with me and take a few snapshots the next time I go check on things at the farm. Until then, keep planting those cole crops and you will be harvesting in no time!
