Greenhouse

Alright, so we have started making our own baby food as I mentioned in a previous article, but how do we know what the fruits and vegetables are getting grown in or what we are exposing our family to? Well, last night, my husband and I drew up our plans for our greenhouse as you can see pictured below.

It is going to be nine feet wide and 12 feet long and five-seven foot tall. We are really excited and as soon as we get the extra money to spend on getting the materials we will get it built.

When we are finished getting it set up, I will post pictures of the final product. We are going all out and we are going to have just about every kind of fruit and vegetable that we possibly can.

I have some sweet corn and purple okra seeds that I am starting right now and then we will be buying more heritage seeds once we get the greenhouse going. This way, we know exactly how our plants are grown and come from for the best health for our family. We will also be saving a lot of money by not having to buy fruits and veggies anymore, although I am not sure if we can grow enough for how much we can go through. What ever we do have left over though, we are going to try to sell at a local farmer's market which also excites me.
 


Do you have a greenhouse? What is it made out of? Do you like it? What fruits and vegetables do you grow? Let me know and comment below!
