My plants are doing just great with both tomatoes and eggplants getting buds on them. They will be blooming soon, but are still in the house due to gale force winds this week. I have put them out to “harden” a few times and cringed watching them get beaten by the wind.

Today Brad decided to do something about that and set out to transform the lizard house (also known as the greenhouse) into a real greenhouse.

He began by building plastic covered frames (in my office only temporarily).

He then bolted them to the greenhouse posts, which should protect the plants from the wind, while still letting in sun. The bit of airspace above and below should keep it from becoming a steamroom.

Oh and Brad’s garlic are doing just great too. (They’re envious of the enclosed greenhouse though.)
