Just a note to my friends and fellow bloggers...
- It's early May
- This is Southern New England.
- I have about... 4 hours... before everything goes from accessible and manageable to overgrown.
Current project: Building a greenhouse.
We had an old garden shed in the back BACK corner of the yard. That shed had a 6x11 cement patio in front of it. Well, that shed is long gone, but the patio remains. Found a 6 x 10 greenhouse kit (arrived yesterday). Over the weekend, I installed a raised foundation for it, and dug a pit that will eventually enable me to run PEX from the garage to have a working faucet at the structure.
As I mentioned, I have short window to get the greenhouse assembled before the path become overgrown with seasonal shrubs (lilacs, Russian Quince, etc.) that are just beginning to bud out.
I may not be readily responding to comments or spending time visiting with other blog sites for other than a cursory scan. Once dawn breaks, I am in work mode.
Next May projects on the list:
- Build a 2' x 15' raised planter behind the wood shed.
- Move the large tropical plants (several large, potted orange trees, Oleander, etc.) out of the game room, including hanging the 14' dragon fruit from the Granny Smith apple tree.
- Gutting and cleaning the breezeway (wintered a lot of plants in there). A lot of stuff will go out the the greenhouse.
- Patching and painting the exterior 1st floor (where insulation was blown in last fall).
- Opening up the 3-season porch.
- Preparing for our first house guests in YEARS sometime in late June.
Onward.
