Ok so I have all thse little sprouts in the laundry room and I had no idea what I was going to do with them. Then I saw Beavis's green house. I thought a cold frame would do. I was out in the yard today and this is what I came up with. All things I actually had laying in the yard. My DH...
I have a permanent strawberry bed in my yard. I call it the Kids garden. The plants usually survive year to year. In spring I weed, pinch new plants and move them around in the bed. Then mulch. I usually spring for cocoa shells on that one. something about strawberries and chocolate. Yum...
You know i never even thought about the gophers. bet that's why my vines keep dying. Once they get gong I bet the gophers eat the roots. Duhhh. I had a little pear tree fall over one day. No roots at all. I should have though of that.

Yes, it faces south. There is a single light glass door. So there is a ton of light. My seed helper is my 3 year old. She places the seed one at a time for me. A very important job. :D
