The high tunnel is complete!
It’s pretty wet & muddy inside currently. Too wet to do any work. Hopefully a day or two of sun will help raise the temperature inside and dry out the soil a bit.
In anticipation of being able to work inside I ordered seeds today. First, let me say that seed catalogs might be one of my favorite publications to get in the mail. The pictures are a welcome reminder of the beauty that is to come. They make it look so easy too! No bugs, no weeds, just perfectly planted rows of crisp lettuce in various shades of green and red, plump tomatoes without a hint of blight, zucchini and cucumbers picked at just the exact size for perfection. In reality, gardens have weeds, they have pests, they have blights occasionally and it is virtually impossible to make it through a summer without finding one morning a swollen zucchini which the day before had been only 3 inches long.
I ordered a selection of herb & vegetable seeds to start in the greenhouse, including a few that just struck my fancy like huckleberries. Because I was on a “let’s pretend it’s spring” kick, I also ordered some chicks, turkeys, and muskovy ducks.
High Tunnel Update.
