helwenLyle got the rest of the walls up today, just minutes before snowfall!
We still have more to do with securing the wall sections to each other to tighten up how they stand next to each other, block in the bottom of the walls against the wind, and stuff the area between the straight edge of the new walls and the clapboard of the porch. But the hardest and most important part is done. All of the finish work can be done without worrying so much about the weather.
Last week I found three of the containers I'd painted flat black ages ago -- back in our Holyoke days. I'm going to need more than three, but it's a start. We have some other old containers that I can paint, no big deal. Also going to hang black fabric or plastic on the south-facing porch wall, at least a couple pieces, to help with warming during the day.
Once all the plants are out there, I can work on doing a little harvesting and re-potting. Progress!
