It’s that time of the year… time to prep for spring. The greenhouse took some minor exterior damage in the windstorm of Saturday 2012 March 3rd. That will be fixed in a few weeks after it warms up enough to do the outside work.<\/p>\n

\nSo yesterday, down came the shelves for remodelling into three shelves giving us another 50% to work with. This will help spread the flats out a bit more. The entire growing shelves are enclosed in removable plastic to allow us to put a small ceramic heater inside to keep warm over the next couple of months.
\nThe bottom shelf was lowered about 4″, the top shelf raised about 6″ and a new shelf was built into the middle slot.
\nAbsolute height was reduced a bit on the lower two shelves but that should not be a problem. As the plants get to that height, they will start going outside to harden off before planting in the ground.<\/p>\n

\nAnd this is the first seeds to go into soil this year… a couple of flats of flowers destined for the L&A Hort Plant Sale in May.<\/p>\n
