Big Plans

So, we have some big plans for our house. Currently, our cabin is 10 x 14. A little small for year-round use, and Cud and in not wanting to kill eachother now and again. So, we're building an extension. It's going to be a 12 x 20 addition, including a 12 x 12 living room and 8 x 12 spare room. It's only going to be one story high, with a living roof for my herb garden. we're planning on putting in a door in our upstairs loft bedroom with a walkway that leads to the new roof. we're very excited about it. The house will then be sort of boomarang shaped, with full sun coverage on all sides. i can't wait!!

Also, some other things we've been working on recently have been the new greenhouse that Cud and our friend Beyon built a week ago. It's very cool. This week i plan to dig up the ground its on to get it ready for planting next year. I'm thinking peppers, and tomatoes?

My small garden patch is all planted and doing well as well. I had a bit of a problem with slugs a few weeks ago, but the nice ladies at the garden centre in Montague told me to make a trail of coarse salt around the perimeter, and the slugs would dry up and die if they tried to crawl over it. So far so good, but its a bit tricky i find when it rains. The slugs love the rain, the salt does not. The garden this year has zucchini, brussel sprouts, parsnips, beets, and peppers, and I also planted some cherry tomatoes near the house. Very excited for the vegetables to finally come!! next year i'm hoping to plant three times the size of a garden, and hopefully have a spring, summer and fall harvest.
Pictures soon!
