Last year when I started a plant I put it soil after a while. So far this year I have left it in just water and a light fertilizer. I haven't read anything about what to do after you start them. So I guess my question is what are you supposed to do after they are growing?

You can also see what shape their in when you buy them. The trouble I have had is that when they arrive they are not healthy. I realize that many things are bare root and dormant but just never had much luck with mail order. Hope they do well for you.

For those of you who have a greenhouse from Harbor Freight, did you make anything for hanging baskets? I don't think the frame is strong enough to support them. Any ideas? Thanks in advance

Thanks Rich, Great idea! I'll have to look into that, but I think I might just run to the local hardware - for the visegrips - I wouldn't want mine to be rusty. :lol:

Rich, If you get a chance check out the website that Mattemma listed. At a quick glance I didn't see anything bout the doors but I think the hasp idea will work well.

Thank you Mattemma, I didn't have much time to look at the website but what I saw was great. I saved it and will go back to it later.

dickiebird, what did you use to lock the doors on your greenhouse. I have the same one and they don't stay closed completely. Just curious about what you did. Thanks

Thanks everyone for the comments and suggestions and Steve, it is like staying up with puppies. Here it is

I, like some of you on this forum, purchased a greehouse from Harbor Freight last year. I put it together late last summer and let it sit over the winter. Other than having to keep the snow off the roof everything went well. I started a lot of seedlings inside under grow lights and Saturday...

I have ordered from some of those also and realized that they are the same company. I did not have a lot of success with them. Let us know how your order was when it arrived and how the plants did.

I'll ditto this. You don't even need to have raised beds unless you want to. Just have fun with it, learn, experiment and enjoy the soil.

4 ft. beds and walkways from 2 to 3 ft. Wish I had made them all 3 in the beginning. I sense a bigger garden coming one of these years and when that happens there will be 3 ft walk ways everywhere.

If it is an old pile it might finished compost. If the pieces are still too large try running a tiller thru it. The lime will not break it down but will only change the PH. Hope this helps.

Pics please. I too have enjoyed the giving and receiving from this post. Thank you to all who shared their thoughts and ideas with everyone. I think tomorrow will be the last day for collecting water for me. I made 2 gallon of syrup so far. I am hoping for another 1/2 gal. when I finish...

Thanks Boggy, Congrats on the find.

I also wanted to ask a question - What is a boggy branch?

OK my turn - I am a chaplain at a retirement village that goes by the initials LVV. I guess that made me LVVCHAP. I used this one a while back on another forum and decided to keep it.

Yesterday I finished 1/2 gal and the water has stopped running here too. My back yard went from 18" of snow to a muddy mess in a matter of a couple days. We'll see what this week brings.

Go for it Chicken Stalker, what have you got to lose but a little time. If it works for you then you will be rewarded with some of your own Maple Syrup. Nothing tastes as good as your own.

Ducks4you, Sorry to say the pics are from last year. Journey11 I use a meat thermometer. It has an alarm on it and I set it a few degrees above boiling. This is the same location this year
