My garden is growing in leaves and bounds. I thought it would be fun to take you on a tour...
The door- well, for the most part the entire greenhouse- is cleverly (although not always aesthetically) pieced together from the salvage that my husband has squirreled away. I found a cute wooden sign for the entrance (note door to chickens is to the left in this shot) that draws your eye away from the dinge of the old door.
The entire east wall is the raised bed Jay built with the first bit of the bed holding lettuce we've been enjoying for months. Now our salad staple is quickly bolting as the days are warming so I've been slowing pulling the old plants and using them as chicken treats, the long stems ending up in my compost pile. Note how the lettuce leaves hang over the edge; the chickens love to come in the garden and hop up to help themselves to a bite of fresh greens. I sometimes let them come in and scratch around in the compost pile but have to watch closely or they head for greener pastures.
The inside walls of the greenhouse are either plastic, bird netting or various used sheets of wood.
Recently when I stopped at a church yard sale I was inspired by some interesting wallpaper ...
and ended up with this...
stay tuned for part two of the tour...

Wallpaper reminds me of MRC's men's restroom in the basement.
