Not Quite Finished With The Snow - But The Vegetables Are Covered - 3/19/13

A quick post to show the hoop house during today's snow. The vegetables are snug and warm inside the cover. Not unusual to get snow at this time up here.  It can snow all the way to June 1st.

Enjoy !

Snow On the Hoop House - Picture Of The Day 12-29-2012

I have a seasonal hoop hose. It helps extend my growing season. I made it myself with help from a neighbor. After every snow fall I clean it off. I have 2-30ft X 3ft beds and currently have  lettuce  growing inside.

One day I hope to own a large greenhouse.

Some pictures from the past years:

Here is a picture of a frequent guest to the garden for the past couple of years. I first saw her as a little Bambi with her spots. Now she is all grown up and has a couple fawns of her own.  She always gives me the same look.
