 To keep myself sane during the winter months I made a greenhouse cabinet to not only start seeds for the garden in, but to harvest fresh lettuce, tomatoes and herbs in the dead of winter.    It truly was a welcomed project for me. I have used the traditional portable plastic greenhouses in the past and grew frustrated with how invasive and unattractive they were. I began my search for a cabinet that would resemble a small refrigerator in the corner of my open pantry area. After months of searching I found this cabinet. It’s actually an electronics cabinet with a glass door and adjustable shelving.   I then researched low heat led grow lights and found the perfect sized ones to fit in this cabinet.  I also wound up placing my small hydroponics system in it which gave me extra room on my kitchen countertop.   To keep with the “refrigerator” theme I have begun starting my seeds in containers one would find in a refrigerator. Chinese food containers, soda cans...

 Another cold day. Winter storm warning. I’m thankful to have discovered Eve. She’s keeping me sane during “cabin fever” time. Working on the second storyline of “The Temptations of Eve”... Far from finished but, I’m already excited to see where she goes next.
