My latest project is to replace the screening in my greenhouse/spa. Some years ago I got this brilliant idea to put a small hot tub in my greenhouse. It gives me privacy and protection from the wind, and I love it!
I put some special screening in the greenhouse so the sun would not damage the hot tub and it would keep the green house cooler. I have solar openers on the windows. Through the years the wind has blown in lots of pollen and tiny seeds onto the screening. I tried to wash it off but no dice. It is also getting rather stiff, anyhow I decided to replace the screening. This is a big project and very physical! So it will keep me busy for awhile.
I thought I would document again some of the plants that are blooming at this time.
Now, the bad news . . . .
My bees have suffered from hive collapse.
I miss the little girls. Our dear son-in law will be bringing us some new girls to start a new hive.
But, just to leave on good notes . . .
1. One of the plum trees has started blooming!
2. I am going up to take care of my grand-dog and grand-cat for a couple days.
3. And the reason I will be with them is because Jen and Robert are going to attend the Game of Thorns Costume Event this weekend. She has promised pictures!
A little preview though, from when she was working on her costume:
mmm
