Greenhouse update May 20th

Again I found time to work with lumber - my greenhouse.
I planted cuces and squashes on the back raised bed, but it needs roof support and trellis.

All photos are without retouching, the work in progress and mess is huge!

Rear raised bed before - it is about 24" high. I loaded the bed with old leaves, twigs, than compost, peat moss, some sand, few lime stone.





 Before.....
 Welcomed guest!
 After......

Pine shaving everywhere.
I did not cover the areas where I planted cuces and squashes.

The little opening on the ground between the bricks - sprinkler system head. I am not sure yet if it will be good for the greenhouse or not.
View on the right.
Roof support and future trellis support.
 View on the left.
You can see the wooden frame I put on the blocks to make the whole construction more stability.
 That's how it is look like now.
 Still a lot of work, but plants are growing and it gives me hope that I can finish the project.

Wildlife inspection in spring garden

 Sunny April day - I was working on my herbs-flower beds. Last year there were 3 tiny - 1x1/2 feet patches - this year I made a big one along the fence.
 Tansy herb - happy and green.
 I also transplanted volunteer chives there.
 New roses - new buds.
 The garden beds are starting to be nicer, less messy.
 Fennel planted.
 New bed for peppers - garden soil + lime + compost + peat moss + black plastic and one month waiting.
 Red currant after nitrogen spray.
 Kale and kohlrabi were planted this week.
 Kale bed - this year on black plastic
 First green peas
 More braccicas.
 19+ containers with herbs and greens.
and at last wildlife inspections!
All the greens should be yummy and tasty.
