Title: Greenhouse spring cleaning
Post by: barleychown on Apr 19, 2008, 08:25:57 PM: Last week while it was sunny and warm out, I decided to empty out my greenhouse and clean it up a bit, so I could hopefully make a bit more room in there for some seedlings.

Here's a shot of it mostly emptied out:

The tenants, out enjoying some sun:

And everyone tucked back in safely for the night:

I didn't end up with nearly as much new space as I would have liked, but I will fit more in somehow. :BigGrin:

(as is your whole yard!) :grinnnn: When I was there earlier this week, I was really impressed with the progress you've made already this year. It's been awesome watching that yard take shape, from the raw, weeded lot of just 2 short years ago! :clap:

Is there a way that you can suspend some long hooks from the ceiling in the greenhouse (or put a rod up across it somehow), to hang the hangables & make more space on the counter for pots? I never looked at the construction of the greenhouse frame, so I don't know how strong it is. :ScratchHead:

It is a 10 foot by 12 foot. I thought that would be more than enough, but I could fill another just like it easily. :naughty:

Patty, we think with a little bit of bracing, we can add rods across the top that I can hand the baskets from. I'd like to winter over the huge ones I like on my front porch every year. :ThumbUp:
