An Autumn Project

My Little Greenhouse


 I shared last week that my husband and I were working on a project. 
This past week we finished it.
A little greenhouse for my Little Garden That Could.



 We will be putting shelving up in the spring, just before I get busy starting seeds. 
We built a raised bed on the floor of the greenhouse.
I planted Perpetual Spinach, Swiss Chard, Kale, Radish, Butter Oak Lettuce and some tulips inside. This all will be an experiment on how things will grow in the greenhouse during the winter. It is not heated. The lovely sunshine is the only heat at this time. 


 I will be doing some landscaping around the greenhouse in the spring. 


A little greenhouse is something I have wanted for a long time. I saved my bouquet sales during the summer to go towards purchasing my little greenhouse. 
I have a feeling you just might find me in it during a cold, yet sunny day in the winter, soaking up sunshine and taking in that greenhouse smell.

  5. It is adorable!!! Looks very sturdy. And I like that you put paving squares in front of it. It will be such fun to see what will grow in there in the winter. I hope you will be giving and showing frequent reports on it. You must be over the moon!!

  7. You SO deserve it. What a great project for you two and a labor of love I'm sure;. I like that greenhouse smell and I can see you working out there when the snow is swirling around. How exciting! Great job!

  8. I agree...you SO deserve this and you'll really enjoy it! What a perfect way to start the winter months and the stress you are going through right now. I'm so happy for you! Can't wait to peek inside when you have pretty flowers blooming!

  9. That is so cute, and it came out so nice! I know for now it is solar, but do you normally have to heat it in the deepest part of winter, because it is so cold there? No such thing here! xoxo Su

  10. I love your little greenhouse. I'm looking forward to see how things grow in there. I had a fairly large one and i loved it so much. I could work in it even when it was cold outside. Unfortunately, it was torn down to dig a deep well and it never was put back up.
    Hugs, Julia

  16. Well done with the savings. You will have such fun growing and experimenting with different plants and seeds. Living in a city that doesn't get snow, would it get damaged in winter with all the snow you get?
