reason I have not been blogging lately

I love to garden, it soothes me and gives me time to think, plus I get nice beautiful flowers or yummy veggies to eat! My hubby and I have been married for 4 yrs in October, and every year we have a garden. I start the seeds indoors and hide them away from our 6 cats..... Which usually means I can't get to them either and my hubby waters them (we have a finished basement with heat, and I rarely do stairs due to a back injury...weeding is a task also). So after a lot of trial and error we figured out container gardening was best for us. I also wanted a place that I could do my thing, without bringing dirt and plants inside. We always talked about a greenhouse, and my hubby got me one for our anniversary and my birthday! This is the finished project... Its 8 x 12 and hubby painted it a shade deeper than the house to account for fading. I sooooo love the Dutch door.... Also I am constantly laughing while I am inside, because I think of the movie Funny Farm....when he walked thru the Dutch door LOLOLOLOLOL
This is what we have inside (so far):
my new (2nd) set of seedlings
1 tote of pots
1 tote of seed starting/thinning pots
1 super comfy bench right at bench level
few herbs (rosemary) that are now safe from cats!
Also behind the bench is a shelf that has a radio and shovels and dirt and plant food, and misc. stuff. We also laid down a runner so I can sit barefoot and read.
This is the Plexiglas window side....
This is the window that is above the bench... it is to the right though and was not visible in the other inside pic I took. I am sure it will pop up in a later post....
This is how they assembled it...My hubby took all pics for me because I was at a craft show with my sister... I made $8, which paid for my papers last weekend!! Also we put it right in the middle where our old pool used to be so we don't have to worry about laying grass seed where the sand was....
I absolutely am a million percent satisfied... I have already been in it during rain (to check for leaks LOL), sat on my bench and read, and potted some stuff. There was no reaching or bending...Also between the Greenhouse and Shed there is a pond with Koi fish.... which is below the greenhouse window.... It is so peaceful to sit and read while smelling lavender and rosemary, while listening to the water cascade of the pond.... Thus I am never inside to blog anymore! My mom and hubby teased me... wanted to buy me a bed so I can live in there! We'll see!
