box

I've built myself a new "greenhouse" box from scrap material again. A week or so ago saw from my kitchen window a man carrying a wooden frame through the courtyard- both my daughter and I remarked on what a useful thing it would be. And then not ten minutes later when we went out to our car, there it was, sitting by the dumpster. So I brought it in, and simply stapled around the sides and top some plastic sheeting (that once packaged a mattress). I didn't need a peaked roof this time, as the balcony gets so little rain.
It's already been put to use outside, hardening off some Peas, Dill and the one sprouting Hibiscus.
