One small step towards a sustainable home is growing your own food. I may not yet have a plot of land to call my own or a place to plow my own garden, but I get to practice my green thumb skills until then with my new cold house, or mini-greenhouse!! Brent got me this beauty of a greenhouse for my birthday! It's a pretty good sized greenhouse and will take up a decent portion of the patio, but if it means yummy herbs and pretty flowers, it will be space well used. Once I get situated on the patio and filled with goodies I'll post a picture!I still have to figure out how to insulate it from the concrete patio come fall time. Any suggestions? I'd like to stay away from straw or any other thing that would invite mice to call it home. I'm thinking an insulated mat of some kind, like the stuff used to wrap hot water heaters or something. Anywho - one more project to add to the list! It should make for an interesting summer!
