September to November in the Greenhouse

 

Hello Friends,

The first of September I cleaned my little greenhouse and planted seed for an autumn harvest.

My little greenhouse has rain gutters. They get full of leaves and green ick during the summer months. I cleaned them with a toothbrush and soapy water.

I also wash the inside walls of my greenhouse after the summer months.

The humidity makes things grow, including some stuff that you do not want to grow, the green ick.

 I planted spinach, kale and lettuce.

 I began to harvest in late September. 

A snowstorm hit in October.. the little greenhouse kept the greens safe and warm.

We continued to have fresh salads the next few weeks. 

 I harvested the last of the greens November 6th. We were blessed with a week of warm temperatures. I was able to get all my garden work finished, the house and yard all buttoned up for winter.

 I am so pleased with the flavor of the kale, sweet and tender.

 

I added a few of my potted succuletns into the greenhouse. 

I put straw on top of them , thier winter blanket, for their winter nap.

 

I also put leaves on the soil areas inside my greenhouse. This will add to the nutrients in the soil.

 And the Christmas tree is up in the greenhouse.

All is tucked in and can sleep until Spring.

And as I write this, snow is falling, so we buttoned up just in time.
