We started off with the idea of turning the horse barn back into a solar greenhouse. It had actually been built as a solar greenhouse back when Ben had the Boulder Valley School on the property. Perhaps we went a little nuts with the redesign which doubled the size, and made for a very expensive greenhouse. I’m sure if we would have just kept it simple, kept it the same size, we could’ve renovated it for considerably less than the full blown design would’ve cost.

Greenhouse out, garden in. Well, it would still be nice to have some small greenhouse to start plants in instead of buying plants. So, with a tight budget, we got a budget greenhouse. Two, actually. While they are tiny, they should be good enough to start some of our seedlings.
