Gardening Stuff

The Fuzz has not been keeping up with things here… that's just a fact.  Let's just say that he has a lot of personal issues these days.  Perhaps they might be a subject for this blog someday…
But then I wouldn't hold your breath.

There was some actual winter weather here in the Old North State lately.  But things have warmed back up just a bit and The Fuzz has been thinking about gardening again.
Since it is only The Fuzz himself at this time, a large garden is unnecessary these days.  So he has been working on converting everything to raised beds.
This project is to provide a little greenhouse and maybe get a jump on Springtime…
…could be worth a shot.

There were already some PVC frames under the house from a previous attempt at this.  So rather than starting from scratch, Our Fuzz decided to modify those.
This was accomplished by shortening the original "A frame" design, and adding 45° elbows to match the width of the new beds.  All these sections are slip-fitted so they can be reconfigured when needed.
"Clear" plastic was draped over the new frames and weighted down at the sides with bricks, making it easy to open on hot days -
which we might have eventually.

And so…

Voila!
A Mini Greenhouse.

This is heavy-duty plastic though…
The Fuzz is considering perhaps going with a lighter gage befor any planting.
