The greenhouse has been up and running for a few weeks now, warming our late-but-growing little seedlings.  However, in our rush to get it up so that we could start seeding, we hadn’t finished the floor.  Like our upper fields, the greenhouse was full of alfalfa, which has some serious roots.  Last week I spent a few partial days working on pickaxing the floor and removing sod and roots.  I finally enlisted Luke’s help and he completed in one day what would have taken me a week.  We loosened the dirt with the pickaxe, took out the roots, leveled the dirt, rolled it down and then placed landscape cloth on top.  Today I had to finish the job, and while it took me all day, the greenhouse is tidy, has a floor and is (hopefully mostly) alfalfa free. 

There’s still lots to be done to the greenhouse, but this is a big move forward.
