Back in the Hoop House



At last the door to the hoop house thawed out and I'm inside looking around at how things came through the winter and doing some of the early season chores. Both of my fig trees survived but the one that I didn't cover is in much better condition so next year I will just leave them alone to do their thing. The grape vines are in great shape and starting to break bud. I moved the wires that they have been climbing back a few feet so they will be growing flat up against the back wall this year, fingers crossed for some grapes and figs this summer.

Coleman Camp Stove



Hooking up my Gas Colman Camp Stove. I decided to use a 20 pound propane tank rather than the little disposable ones. This way the tank itself can be outside of the cabin which I think is much safer. I was amazed at how much heat it produces,it boiled water in no time. I also used my Colman oven to bake some muffins.

March in like a Lion






March first and another snow storm. Short update on the hydroponics and aerogarden which have both put on considerable growth, and a look at the seedlings that I have started for this summers garden.
