Our greenhouse if fairly new. We built it last year but didn’t have time to get the shelves built before spring was in full swing.
I like to start my veggie starts and a lot of flowers in the greenhouse early, by the first of April at the latest. This year we built our shelves and I am in love. I spent some time getting everything laid out and ready to go.
I plan to install a garden box one one side of our greenhouse so we only built two shelves on one side. This will leave room so we can build the box right on the ground and I can plant several tomato starts in the greenhouse and they should do well because they love heat so much.
I also spent some time organizing and cleaning up all my pots. I also looked through my seeds and made a planting plan. I love spending time in the greenhouse, its so warm and peaceful.
The crocuses are so pretty. I think I’d like to take a stroll in your garden. It looks like a happy place. 🌸

That is so nice of you to say. It still needs a ton of work but it’s slowly getting better each year.
I love your greenhouse. Of course, I don’t need one here in SoCal, but when we were in Virginia I would have lived happily in a greenhouse among all the plants! I spent my March pulling out the cool season plants after they bolted. I’ve got some lettuce and spinach left, but everything else is finished. Fine by me, because I am going to my garden this afternoon to plant tomatoes, peppers, beans, and cukes, just ONE zucchini plant, and herbs.

I can imagine that it is a big difference between Virginia and California. I just planted most of my starts in the greenhouse today and I resisted the urge to plant the entire package of zucchini!!! They can get out of control fast!
A lot of work but you reap what you sow as soon as you enjoy all the fresh veg, colorful flowers and nothing beats farm fresh eggs!! Enjoy!

It is a lot of work! Its a good thing I love it so much. I really appreciate the way the garden gives me reasons to get outside in the cool spring weather. It feels so good to be outside after winter.
