surprise watermelon |
It was hidden under a pile of dead cherry tomato vines! They seemed to have protected it from frost, even though the watermelon vine is long since dead.
This cherry tomato plant is a volunteer that showed up in a pot. It's a good test plant. |
. . . as well as a few other things . . .
As tempting as it is to fill the greenhouse with plants, I'm trying to keep it to a minimum as we'll be working on the interior soon.

These are two green pepper plants I dug up from the garden and potted. |
Everything in it is doing well. so far, but the real test will be January and February, which are typically our coldest months. Even though it's still a work in progress, the greenhouse holds promise as a winter garden.
Progress on the exterior continues slowly . . .

I reckon this will be my new winter garden. |
Dan finished the siding below the windows with cement board in a barn board pattern. What there is of it. Then I painted it. Currently, he's recaulking the old windows, and then we can finish up with their coats of paint.
