Hope you all enjoy this short clip from the farm!
You never know how much it takes to keep greenhouse things alive until you have a greenhouse, but we are loving it. Here are some things you have always wanted to know about greenhouses...
We heat our greenhouse with two 1500 watt electric area heaters that run on a thermostat...real sophisticated.
On a sunny day, the greenhouse can reach 110 degrees F! But only 40 degrees on a cold cloudy day, even with the heaters running.
The boys collect tropical spiders in there (well sort of...they are huge, hairy, and harassing...the spiders are).
The average mortality rate (for plants) is 20%.
Moppet... well really none of the kitties...are allowed in the greenhouse. Moppet jumps on green pepper flats and eats for her life.
The cats are all jealous of Lucy (the dog) because she is the only one selected to warm her toes and keep us company in the greenhouse.
So...waiting for your tomato, green pepper, broccoli or cabbage seedling? They are on their way!
Have a marvelous spring!
