Progress!

The last few weeks have been busy in the backyard!  The awesome news is that the greenhouse is basically done with the exception of a couple of minor tweaks! 

You may remember this from the last post:
 
here it is getting sides and a top

 
(mostly)  Finished Product!


 
A quick shot of inside so far.  We have clean up and some more tables to build but it is on its way!
 
I am so proud that with the exception of the plastic on the top, everything else used to build the greenhouse was upcycled from things we already had torn down in the yard.  I love it when we can use what we already have! 
 
Ok, So here are a few shots of some other ongoing projects:
 
Rosemary I am growing to eventually do cuttings to propagate.  Eventually these will be offered for sale.

 
Some collard seedlings Robert is getting ready to move outside.

 
Um, yes, we are going to have a ton of Strawberry plants for sale, both June bearing and everbearing alpine type.  They will be $1 each.  transplants were done with some very very established plants.
 
beside the greenhouse will be most of our expanded garden space.  Cant wait to get it all planned out.  Even though we will be offering plants, I may offer surplus produce from our garden in very limited quantities when we have it.  We'll call it "from the twins garden".
 

 
We also have some long narrow beds along the fence.  Okra and tomatoes will be planted here.

 
Robert is trying to grow some collards here right now.

 
That's all for now!  Cant wait to see where this adventure takes us!  As always, check us out over at www.olskisheirloomnursery.com, as well as following us on facebook and twitter for all the latest news!
 
Thanks, Meredith
