Awesome story! 😂

Excellent stories! Thanks for sharing! :D

I believe you can order Bauer cordless drills from the Harbor Freight website - they do ship to Australia!

I was thinking more along the lines of lifting the plastic, building a small thin frame the length of the greenhouse and the width of the upper angled part of the roof (where your illustration is) and putting hinges on the frame at the top so I can just push it up and prop it open, but there are...

I think it is certainly possible - it would just take some imagination. Though with the type of plastic I used, I'm not sure how it would hold up being flexed at the joint. I will have to think about it. Thanks for the suggestion! It's a grand idea!

Certainly a good idea. The window is not centered on the back wall as there is a center support on the wall, so I really need to make another window symmetrical to the one that is already there. Yes, I need to figure out a way to also put vents or openable windows in the roof to let the hot air...

Just my wife's phone. I think it's a Samsung A53 or something. Yes, I built it based on the plans from Ana White's DIY website. The dimensions are 10 ft x 12ft. It is about two years old now, and I use it for a lot of things. The only thing I wish I did differently is, instead of making the...

I'm not sure if it is illegal in the states - never bothered to check 😅 We had a nice summer rain yesterday evening, and the sun came out beneath the clouds an hour before sunset. I snapped a quick picture of the greenhouse as the sun peeped out. Got to love sunsets.

I just bought one!

They are all right as long as you know how to pick them up. He was trying very hard to convince me he was dead, but since my kids were helping me pick beans in the garden, I had to get him out of there before one of them stepped on him. :oops: As soon as I picked him up, he bared his teeth and...

Finally had a reason to take a picture. I found a visitor in my green beans.

Another good lesson! I still struggle with this... my wife thinks I overwater, but I'm not sure I'm watering enough. I get especially anxious about potted plants out in the summer sun. I have tried to balance it out by not watering as much (in terms of volume), but I still haven't found the...

Good advice! I have had a similar experience, but it was the difference between one part of the yard having bad soil and the other having good soil, so I just moved the garden. Lucky for me! Thanks for sharing!

Thanks! That's a wealth of good advice!

Thanks for the encouragement and advice! I appreciate it!

Hello everyone! I am new to this forum, but I have always found it helpful (not to mention reassuring) to see that I am not the only one who has made mistakes while gardening. For several years, I have made mistakes and no doubt I will continue to make them - I just hope that I have the...

Thanks, Mandy! That is a good way of looking at it, with regard to the raised beds, but the hardest part will be getting my wife to look at it that way. 😅 We do can some of our produce, but we have not yet explored pickling or fermenting - I would love to though! I haven't really sold any...

Hello everyone! I have been a fan of Mark's for a couple years now, but I only just learned about this forum. Can't believe I didn't know about it! I am from southern Central Ohio, I live on about 5 acres, and I have been gardening for about 5 years now. I am still in the "I have no idea what...
