Hoop Houses


It's the end of February and almost 70.  Very unusual, but nice. It's a great day to work outside and make a few raised veggie boxes and the hoops to go with it. I want to plant my seeds early next month.
Got all my tools, pvc pipes and wood ready. Going to make two 4 x 8 veggie beds.
 This was an existing flower bed from last summer. Needs to be cut down a little.

 Got the two 8 x 4 foot raised beds done. Now adjusting the one from last year.
 Dakota barking at something in the field. Got the boxes done..finally.
 Couldn't resist putting in one 10 foot hoop. Getting late and hungry.
 Gotta bathe and make dinner. Stay tuned for the finished product soon. :)

Three days later, (Feb.28th) I finished the rest of the hoops..yay!

What a pretty sight!


Next step is to work the soil, plant the seeds and cover with heavy duty plastic.

After finishing the hoops, I decided to plant four grapevines.

 
Soak them before planting them. 

water them well and watch them grow. :)

What a nice one.
