Greenhouse started

The Port Orchard house has a plastic greenhouse. It was rather dismal when I first looked at it, lots of dirt/mold/etc on the outside with weeds/brambles on the outside, the inside full of rubbish and broken florescent light tubes.

I cleaned it up inside, mixed in some compost, mushroom compost, steer manure, and chicken manure into the sandy soil. I mixed it up very well to distribute it well. I also power washed 3/4 of the outside. I'll finish powerwashing it later, the side that is not fully done is the shady side.


Here is the an old picture of it.

And now how it looks outside:

And the inside:

Last weekend we planted a mixture of heirloom seeds that Cedar gave me. There are small shoots popping up already. Woohoo!

We've arrived in Washington!

We have moved to Washington. Lovely area, rented a house on 1/4 acre, enough room in the backyard for 2 hives. I'll be checking into getting packages/swarms.

I picked up 2 wolfberry (also called goji berry) plants from craigslist.org. Shall be interesting to see how they grow.

My Status

Well, I've decided to move my family and I up North to southern Washington state.
I've wanted to move for years, lots of stuff have stopped this. It's time to move. I'm being a pain in rushing it. We rented a house 2 weeks ago and are moving up this weekend.

Back in March before I decided to move, I ordered 3 packages of bees.
By the time they arrived, I'd decided to move. So I sold 2 packages to some new bee keepers and setup the 3rd package at someones house down in Morgan Hill. I'll be finding someone to take over this hive shortly.
Some pictures of the packages are here.

More to follow!
