    Boy, its not easy erecting one of of these big things. As many of you have seen we started at the beginning, up front-somehow that didn't work out. Then we started putting up the greenhouse from the back and it started going good until 3 of them all fell over. Now with another new plan in place and braces temporarily holding it up. The boards at the bottom will get screwed into the poles for the support.

    There will be 13 of these poles all together when we finish. Doors at each end. The door at the back will allow for a path out to my herb garden and to the right-my strawberry patch. We will also have paths up front going off to the middle right, going to a new flower garden that will need putting in next spring/summer. I, myself can't wait to see how its all going to look. I'm so excited. especially to be putting in a new flower garden, and oh, the work on all the vege's going in the greenhouse too. Just can't wait!

    I must admit, I'm a little jealous! ;)
    Can't wait to see a shot of it all complete, and the new garden.

    That frame is really showing promise now, Pea-tunia! I really like seeing it is stages.
    It looksa as though you have already started to dig in there. I always dig my greenhouse ground when the windows are not in--it's so much easier and less likely to break a pane.
    Keep up the good work there, and please keep sending those fotos.
