Green House Shed

In the years since I built my greenhouse garden shed, I've never looked back. Building the greenhouse portion was relatively easy. With a plan designed for this express purpose, plexiglass merely replaces the plywood for the south facing saltbox roof.

A simple open cedar potting shelf runs the full width of the shed, underneath the greenhouse window. I built the potting shelf from scratch with 2x2 cedar lumber. I didn't work from plans, rather I sketched out the shelf and improvised along the way, using scraps of lumber left over from the initial construction of the shed.

The greenhouse heats up quite well, but I'm a couple of weeks late and a couple of weeks away from moving the tomato and pepper seedlings out to the greenhouse. I want to keep them in the studio until the danger of frost has largely past.

I wish I had more floorspace, but hey, that's always an excuse for expansion, or perhaps to build a new structure. One day I hope to build a nice big post and beam barn to house the trusty old John Deere STX 38, the Troy-Bilt Pony Garden Tiller, and my decrepit array of garden tools ...

Speaking of the Pony, I finally got the chance to get out and till the garden today. The snow peas are a bit late going in, but better late than never!
