Yesterday we finally had some nice weather so we made the most of it and got the vines cleaned out of the garden and also set up the cold frame we bought on Saturday for our lettuce. This is the second thing we’ve planted so far (after the red gooseberry last weekend) and we’re quite interested to see how it’s all going to turn out. We don’t really know what our ultimate goal out here is going to be this year but we’d like to grow at least a few things to sustain ourselves. There really is nothing like home grown so if we can work out an inexpensive way to build a greenhouse that will also look nice, we’re probably going to go for it. But we’re not so sure anymore whether we’ll be trying for a lean-to method like we previously thought or if we will build a stand alone greenhouse towards the back of the property which will block the view to the neighbors a bit. For the time being, though, the cold frame is it.
