It is Fertilizer Friday...and I was so excited to share photos from my greenhouse with you today. Unfortunately, yesterday we were hit with wind gusts exceeding 60 mph and, in addition to ripping shingles off the roof, uprooting my old birdhouse tree (dead, but still), and destroyed the greenhouse in about 45 minutes. Through the heroic efforts of my children, we managed to save all the plants, although some of them may not make it for the duration. (Broken stems may spell doom for some of the seedlings...but the vast majority should be fine.)All that is left of the greenhouse...the plastic tore and was ripped from the floor, the side supports snapped, and the ends cracked.
The view from within the greenhouse...
The shelves that used to be in the greenhouse...
Sam is exploring the sad remains...I'll be cleaning that up today...
I guess I've solved the dilemma of what to put on top of my kitchen cupboards...
Petunias, verbena, cosmos, marigolds, zinnias, and melons (I think)...
Lettuce, broccoli, pumpkins, zucchini, corn, and sunflowers.
Here in Zone 5, we have a last frost date of May 15, so I guess I'll be keeping these babies in the kitchen for a month. I'm just happy we saved so many of them.Fertilizer Friday is the day when gardeners from all over the world join in and share the blooms of their labors! Head over to Tootsie's place and see what the gardeners have been doing.
As for me, I have some seeds to sow (yes, they'll be a bit behind the curve, but still, they'll bloom!)...
