Some Indoor Plants I stapled the black plastic up and then clamped the metal piece to the middle so it is easy to remove when we access. This is to protect the plants from our cats.

Fall Cleanup The weather has been pretty nice here this fall (although it snowed a bit last night) and it was in the high 50s on Friday so I got some stuff done in the greenhouse. Dug about 15 gallons of compost into the back part of the greenhouse and set up the compost (the...See more

So, amusingly, a lot of garden video content just doesn't interest me that much anymore. I still opt to listen to it more often than music these days but honestly, a lot of it is kind of boring because I know it. That isn't the only issue, I mean there are several, but I won't...See more
