In Search Of A Greenhouse

I have big dreams!  I'm always coming up with new hobbies and interests but this is one that I have longed for for quite some time.  My hub and I have been working on commencing a small urban homestead.  At one point we had a small pond and several ducks.  We are currently working on our compost bin, plan to install raised veggie beds this spring, want to install rain barrels, and will attempt to fence our yard so we can have some chickens and ducks again.

So, it only makes sense that our homestead would need a greenhouse.


This is where my passion is at!  I love to plant seeds in dirt and watch them grow.  It's like watching an egg hatch.  There's just something special about it.  A feeling of awe.


We have been on the lookout for a greenhouse that will meet our needs and our budget.  It won't be anything too big or fancy but a structure I can enter and feel the warmth on my face and the dirt in my hands.  It will grow baby plants and rescue not so healthy plants and winter over the extra plants.  If you have a greenhouse or any experience with one, I would love to hear your comments!

  1. Wowie -- and I am psyched to get one of those multi-opening pots for a mini-herb garden! Can't wait to see and hear how it all progresses!
