RE: Identifying and Building a Microclimate for early Spring or Late Fall Planting

in #gardening7 years ago (edited)

When I lived in northeastern Washington state, we had these boxes outside called "cold frames". They were like mini green houses but only 2x4x3 with old windows as the top/lid. Kept things warm even with snow. It can be done! Keep on Steemin!

Yes yes I have and use a few of them all winter to grow lettuce spinach. Very popular with the gardeners here in Canada. Thanks

Awesome! I'm going "off grid" in Montana by 2020 and plan to incorporate many tricks from the "old" days.

Good for you it's certainly a noble journey. I washed a load of laundry by hand today and put it on the clothesline just to get a taste of what it would be like. It is labor intensive. LOL

Maybe a high efficiency washer that runs on solar would be a less intense option. Some manual tasks can be very therapeutic though.

Ah indeed, it is the one place that I can go the kids wont follow me cause they know that I would make them help me. So it is solitude. LOL

My fondest memories of my mother were 40 years ago doing laundry together on a Saturday watching Westerns and jungle movies. Many Saturday afternoons folding clothes

Holy mackerel! I got a MEEP! My first MEEP!
