For anyone following our story you will now that back in September hurricane Fiona barreled through the maritmes and did substantial damage to our tiny island.
In the aftermath, we had quite a few things that we had to take care of like broken windows, missing siding, damaged trees that came down our firewood logs for winter heat, the downed barn. So my greenhouse that was in tatters…. well it took a back seat. We buttoned down what we could and hoped for the best.
We had quite a few windy storms into the last if fall and winter and that seemed to shred thw leftover plastic and my prayer was that I would not loose anything else from in there and that what was left would last until the spring when we could get a decent day to replace the greenhouse plastic.
Well today was the day and we got all the ripped, torn dangley bits taken off and even though it was windier then we liked we got the new plastic on the greenhouse. All secured and buttoned up. Wow…. it took all day.
So now I have to get out there and start organizing, cleaning up and seeing what is salvageable inside. I have raked the stones back into place and will need to get it ready for my seedlings. Now, for those who did not know my greenhouse, not only had the plastic shredded in the hurricane it also moved it 2-3 feet off the base it was sitting on. So it moved everything inside with it…
There is a lot of yard work now to do, and I will be outside more than inside the next bunch of weeks, just trying to get everything ready for outside planting.
It’s such a wonderful feeling inside my heart having an amazing hubby that can do all that he does and helped get our food production vehicle back into working order. I am smiling from cheek to cheek inside and I am really looking forward to what this season holds for us.
So enjoy a few pictures of our hard work today and look forward to lots of garden picture spam and videos this coming spring, summer and fall.
I hope that you are all doing well and please leave us a like and a comment and let us know what think of what we are doing here on our island homestead♡ and let us know how you are as well.
And yes that is our fallen barn in the background, that is another project that has to get done this summer… salvage if we can items from inside and get the rest carted away:)
