There it is, I finished installing the greenhouse kit today. Although the materials seem flimsy as they are very light, the kit is an impressive piece of engineering and a fun puzzle to assemble.

I ordered the kit from Home Depot on New Years Eve having waited long enough for the Canpar shipments to arrive. HD shipped the order by Fedex on Jan 5. Then on Jan 8 both of the Canpar shipments were delivered out of the blue and I sent them back. Fedex routed their shipment incorrectly from Vancouver but still it arrived on Jan 18, two weeks vs two months!

The greenhouse is small (4’x8′) but three 18″x36″ shelving units fit nicely, leaving good access to the shed interior. I moved in some pepper plants that I was overwintering in the garage and soon it will be time to start seeds.

We’ve had mild weather and I’ve been gardening as if it were March. Although snow is in the forecast, the garden is telling me that spring has already started.

It’s a very happy new year for the world in general with COVID-19 vaccines and a new president of the United States. I have cut myself off from CNN and the few anti-trump twitter feeds that I followed. I continue to hope that Donald Trump gets what he deserves but I don’t want to follow his actions any longer.
