The Rise of the Green House







The tomato starts were overtaking all flat surfaces in the house so Mr. Bechtel, the boys, and Grandpa came to put up the green house.  They laid down a cement brick foundation, nailed in wood on top of that, and attached the frame.  Then it took deep patience and super human chinese translation abilities to put the frame together and put in the panels.  Thankfully Mr. Bechtel possesses both those qualities!

I can't believe the difference a green house makes.  The tomatoes and peppers were so happy!  (we finally transplanted them into the ground so they can shiver and threaten to freeze).

The plan is to rototill the floor of the green house and plant basil and melons and stuff inside.
