The finished greenhouse. I think it looks so beautiful.

The new Bearss Lime is at the back with the Meyer Lemon. The tomatoes are planted in the bed with the peppers. The potted tomatoes are staked and ready to go to their homes. My mom and sister have dibs on three plants. I will most likely sell the rest.
The greenhouse is such a source of joy. I worked at the Post Office in the late 70's. I worked overtime every day in November and December to buy it. It was so worth it.

Looks great!

Wow, they look so healthy, sometimes it is easier to work inside a greenhouse in temperate countries, than outside in open areas in the hot tropics.

You should be very proud of yourself, not just for saving up for something so special but also for potting it up and making it so beautiful to enjoy and to harvest from. Lovely!

I'm impressed with the neatness of your greenhouse, Erin. Very much the way I would like mine to be, if I had one!

Well, thank you Mark and Brenda. The greenhouse gives me a lot of joy. If it starts raining I just pop in til it passes. In the winter when I am dying to get into the garden, I go in and putter for a few minutes. It is about 33 years old now. :-)
