may - Weeks 2 & 3, Busy!


The winter squash is bursting forth in 2 weeks. Visiting farm hands, Mom, Bill and Leslie lend a hand in cooler construction and Bill makes his famous strawberry-rhubarb pie for reward! Delicious!

May is bursting forth with beauty. Grapes, irises, clematis, baby robins and the girls.

Seedlings growing in the germination chamber in the house. The first ginger sprout!

Digging the trenches for the electrical lines to the greenhouse... big project. Layed down the landscape fabric inside the greenhouse and the first trays to go in are the winter squash! Still no heat in the greenhouse and the nights can get pretty cool yet so the tomato and peppers are in the house yet growing in pampered comfort.

More work on the cooler, got to use the sawsall to cut the hole for this and then proceeded to insulate with R19, followed by 1" board insulation and then taped. Just one more layer for this little cooler and it's ready for veggies!
