We finally did it, we got started on building the greenhouse. For those of you that can't remember exactly what we have in mind, since we have been talking about it a lot but have had a week in delay in getting started here is a refresher. While the greenhouse is...
Make your own hypertufa garden planters & dividers
When my mom was here over Christmas, she was telling me that she had found a recipe online to make her own planters. I was immediately intrigued since terracotta is pretty pricey and there is still the fear of it cracking, not to mention how heavy it is...and the...
The foundation is definitely finished
So, it seems we succeeded in building the foundation for the greenhouse. Checking it this morning it is straight, hardening perhaps a bit too fast, but looking great.As you can see from T's quick post last night, it was a rough day yesterday. She was so tired that...
No more 40 kilo bags of concrete
The foundation is finished. The 35 - 25 kilo bags of concrete were not even remotely close to what we needed. Perhaps he meant to sell us 40 kilo bags instead...but we still would have needed more. After we were through the first 35, we had to take two more trips to...
Getting ready to pour the foundation
It's another beautiful day here at the farm and after taking a long walk with doggo this morning - she decided she would take a cool bath in the creek - and a quick trip to the local farm store we are getting getting ready to start mixing concrete.We are both still...
The beds are constructed.

We've got gorgeous weather here this week so we've been spending hubby's time off outdoors. We've just finished the construction of the raised beds for the garden and just need to level out the dirt in the beds now and eventually add some fresh soil...which we still...
Building the first of the raised beds
Around 1.30pm this afternoon we finally were finished with our trip to the home improvement store and various other errands. It was time to get started on building the raised beds. We decided to start with the bed across the way from the future greenhouse as it is the...
2 home improvement stores later….
Well, the morning started pretty much like yesterday - home improvement stores. Going back to Hornbach we were pretty disheartened about the prospect of building our gravel paths. They will turn out to be too darn expensive. Also, it turned out that now that we knew...
Building tomato stands
Since we're in full gardening mode here, I was just thinking about the possibility of building our own tomato stands. We have tons of scrap wood around here so we're thinking something like this would be quite practical. The height is a bit strange so we might do some...
