Squash territory! This big huge bed is going to be used for various types of squash.

Potatoes are planted! Starting them in the greenhouse because I can. Once the mornings are a little warmer I will move them outside. Its still getting down near freezing.

Water for sprinklers and frost proof spigot.

I've currently got two heating pads under this and the front one isnt plugged in. I think just one will provide enough heat for starting seeds.

A better view of the nursery pots.

Power is being installed with light switches and all. The yellow line on the bottom is for propane for a heater.

For this season inside the greenhouse I am using 7 gallon black nursery pots on one side and the containers from last year on the other.

The raised beds on the side are finished and filled with soil!

Finally able to plant some seeds! Tomatoes, eggplant, pepper, and some flowers all started.

First look at inside the greenhouse with the structure in place.

This whole back area will be a long raised bed.

With the beds in place its really starting to look good.

Each bed is filled with several inches of gavel to promote drainage as well as if there is a flood it would ruin our soil.

Raised beds have been started!

Pavers that I used last year are being used properly this year. We couldn't get sand last year, this year its going to be a month or longer to get more of them.

This area is really starting to look different!

The greenhouse has arrived! Notice that the automatic vents are already working on the first day.

Gravel added and compacted. We want amazing drainage, so quite a few inches of gravel has been added.

A big muddy mess to get ready for the garden!

The outside raised beds are all going to be the correct size to fit one of these for starting seeds.

Seeds ready for the greenhouse!

The original plan for the greenhouse and raised beds

The very first concept for the greenhouse.
