The Greenhouse: part 2
When my handyman, don Alexis, built the greenhouse I knew it needed a long counter to put the plants on, but I didn't have the funds at the time to have him complete the job. There were some small shelves built into the wall, so I decided to make do with them.
Now that I've learned a lot more about growing plants in a greenhouse, and I have the funds, I had don Alexis build the counter. He did a nice job. It's made of steel tubing to which he welded heavy-duty wire. It's painted with rust-proof paint and is strong enough to hold a lot of weight.
I've started some tomato plants now, and plan to continue to fill up the long, 35-foot counter with plants.
Happy gardening!
