In an effort to damn the man and become a little more self sufficient, last year Quinn and I joined a community garden. The experience of growing food from a seed served as a subtle reminder of nature’s goodness. but when the cold weather hit, we had to turn the garden over and retire our newly acquired husbandry skills. This year, when we found out we would be trading in our apartment for a house with a back yard, the greenhouse research began. Here are a few of our ideas to get us through the winter… until we can build our own and garden year round.
