It is about this time of year, almost every year, that I begin coveting a greehouse. I would love to have one that was big enough to walk through and have shelves upon shelves for my plants...I kinda drool when I see those kinds.
For the time being I have always resorted to growing my plants near windows which often results in "leggy" tomatoes and some loss as I eventually run out of room in the house and then on warm days have to put the plants outside (inevitably every year some get forgotten overnight when temps are still a bit too cool).
However, this year hubby took a day last weekend and with what materials he could scrounge from the barn (no money was spent on this) he created me at least an oasis for my seedlings that will give me my laundry room back for laundry room type activities.

Several children decided to get involved in the process with my 9 y/o helping to remove nails from the old boards and holding things together while dad used power tools. Meanwhile I looked over my shoulder and saw the cutest photo op...
 I mean really, does it get any cuter than this? Look at the grass too..that new green color makes me giddy! |  |
So now that I have more room to put the tomatoes, cabbage and peppers that I have started, what is a girl to do? Well plant more of course...a new flat of rainbow cherry tomato plants you see here...50 to be exact with 10 of each variety (yellow, orange, black, red and pink!)
