Spring is starting 2…..

After years of trying various lighting and humidity profiles to grow my coffee plants, I think I may have got close to the right conditions. I know this because not only are they growing well, but they have flowers..

They seem to be happy, and they are pretty little flowers…

I spent last Saturday moving the greenhouse from my backyard up to the property on the hill by the shed (due to the asshole behind me planting a bunch of trees to block my sun for growing things) . The greenhouse was in shade almost all day long and was useless where it was, so best to put it somewhere it can be useful.

I put it in the middle of all that tall grass, the thought being that there must be plenty of light to grow things there. 😉

I’ve already put my Tayberries in there. Herd to believe these were just bare sticks from Trees of Antiquity just a month or so ago. They love the light and already have buds for flowers…

I put my blueberry plants on the other side of the greenhouse, they have a ton of flowers on them and I’m hoping I will get to enjoy the berries this year instead of feeding the grasshoppers like last year.

Speaking of things that are budding and flowering, the Medlar tree has more buds on it and they are getting closer to flowering. Last week they were closed tight at the top, this week they are larger and just starting to unfurl the outer leaves/petals.

Last but not least, this Saturday I made a stand for the new oven. It was WAY too tall sitting on the table I made. I couldn’t get my coffee maker on the top and there is no way I’m going to put up with that. I wanted the top down low enough that I could use a pan on it comfortably like I would at my regular cook top. This is what I came up with.

Much more usable now. I just need to run it a few more times to double check the heat levels on the things around it. Every weekend I’m up there things get a little more refined for ease of use, and every weekend I’m up there it gets harder to come back to town.
