4. Good Suggestion

We have thought about trying to set up some type of composting arrangement but we worry about attracting bears- not that our flimsy screendoor would keep them out of the greenhouse, of course...

This year's plantings are almost all the volunteers. We put in some lettuce, basil, zucchini and some tomato and have had good luck with those too. This is our 7th year with this greenhouse and by far the most fun-one of discovery to go with the thrill of growing things. Aphids are our only headache.
