Linking Up With
It is mid- July! Can you believe it? It has been really cold here until the 4th when it turned hot. We went from an average of mid 50* temps to mid 90* literally overnight.
Just when I was ready to get out and play in the dirt I got kidney stones - I am so sorry I haven't been more sympathetic to people with that plight . (If you ever get them - dandelion and hydrangea help to dissolve them quickly.) I am very aware to make sure I drink enough water everyday! I never want to do that again!!!

Now onto our news! WE HAVE A GREENHOUSE!
It is from Tuff Greenhouses.
We live in Idaho and the wind can blow really hard here - these greenhouses can withstand whatever wind comes our way!
We assembled it over the 4th weekend. My husband, our son and son in law's make a formible crew! Here are the pictures:
This was the first step - choosing and making a level spot
This is after the spot was cleared.
The spot is ready
Base is in
The spines are going up
Same pictures from a distance
Support braces are up
This is how it looks from the end
Putting up the vents and fans
Putting on the skin - we had to get up at 5:00 a.m. to put it on without any wind.
The next cover goes on
From the end -
The Back End is Done
Working on the Front End
Everyone is tired - but it is done!
In the coming weeks I will be sharing setting up our greenhouse.
Thanks for letting me share.
Today I am thankful for plants that grow, the sun that shines and our wonderful family.

Wow...great greenhouse. You'll be able to winter over all kinds of great stuff in there!

Now THAT'S the kind of greenhouse I need! It puts my little one to shame!

Wow, what a great project. I have a little green house and love it. Nice to have family working together to create something. Look forward to seeing how you set it up, Happy Gardening ~ Jacque
You will love it! Mine is only 16' x 16', and I use it only for starting plants in the spring, but boy they do better than they ever did under lights. I only keep them in there a month or so, but it's a fun time that I truly enjoy! Larry
Glad you are feeling better! WOW what a set up you have in this greenhouse...mine is small but there is no other place I'd rather be in the winter.
Wow, the possibilities are endless!
have fun! I'll make sure to stop back!
