My husband put up my small greenhouse. I’ll be trying to start some seeds soon. Even though it’s small, I really enjoy having it. I like that after I’m finished with it for the season, we can fold it up and store until next year.

I bought some ‘bright lights chard’ and ‘romaine lettuce’ to put in my greenhouse. It makes me happy to see the healthy plants in there. If we don’t eat them all first, I’ll transplant them to a pot and/or the garden.

I’m trying to get a few cuttings of roses, that were in my bouquet, to take root. There was one carnation stem that had buds, so I thought I’d give it a try too. I seriously doubt that any of them will take root, but it’s fun to try.
For the first time in my life, I used a root-starter to give the cuttings a better chance. So, maybe one will take root. I’ll let you know how they do.

We spent this past weekend working in the garden. My husband tilled the garden a few times, fertilized it and tilled it again, then made a few rows for me to plant onions and potatoes. We’re hopeful, we have a good foundation for a productive year, (if the weather and garden-pests play nice. 😉 )

Wishing you all an April full of pleasant weather and relaxing days!
