TOAK, The Thread of All Knowledge part XIV.
That table is awesome, did you make it ?
Yeah, the setup has been a work in progress, finally just tweaking the setup & buying odds & ends
Little GH was less then $300 to build, really only good for grow out, but now with the big GH I have not used it past 2 years
I need (to build) a reg door w/hinges to start using it again
Big GH backs up to the shed, front row of windows were from the 3 season
2 side windows from the house, back dual storm doors were free plus the small other door
Had to buy wood, roofing & some side walls, came out to just over $1k
But now have a pretty good food supply every year, plus I just enjoy it
And with growing flowers from seed now I am saving $$, bought $24 of seeds will end up with close to 800 seedlings
Should setup a roadside plant stand to sell them
I have used egg cartons as planters, cut toilet/paper towel rolls in 1/2 w/bottom in a tray of water
I also use (25) plastic muffin holders that Stop & Shop had, they were split into 4 parts, they redesigned them & now 1 big container (so do not buy muffins any more)
I have also used about any plastic container from food - Italian ice, sour cream, dip, whatever
Neighbors gave me (2) 32 cell planters & pots, plus I saved the pots from any plants I have bought
Last year I bought 120 4" pots/120 labels to grow out seeds
Finally this year just bought some seed starter trays from amazon - $21 for a set of 5

@Northern Glide Hey RGB! I love it. It actually made me tear up a little. That was the equivalent of my "last ride."

Good morning Bill and all. Nice table John! I got the morning walk in, very windy and sprinkled a little. Had a good storm and rain overnight, Scooby was scared and had to come lay by the bed so she was close to me. I think the bad weather may clear out and if it does we may make a run up to Leesburg and catch the last of the fest. Part of me wants to just relax and sit around the house. It has been a long week.
Halito Bill, Woods. Coffee's on...better get it while it's hot!! Got a bar tender meeting today....short and quick....I'll give 'em hell for not working hard, then thank them for all their hard work!! Try to have a meeting once a month to let them air out anything and cover whatever the E-board has done.
Damp and cool today....no riding for me. If you can, enjoy! And be careful!! Lurker out.....

Mornin toakers. Listening to the OL fight the dogs for their morning walk. They've gone from 3acres to a garage, so they're not happy. Neighbor has aggressive pitbulls, so until I get the invisible fence installed, they go on walks.
