Today when I went out to the greenhouse, I got everything watered and then concentrated on cleaning things up a bit. One thing led to another and the time flew. I spent over an hour puttering around.
It’s amazing how much there is to do out there! The 6mm black stuff we spread on the floor is deteriorating quickly because of sun and water. I’ve been moving old welcome mats out there to cover up the tears as much as possible to prevent me inadvertently catching a toe and tearing it more. There was a bunch of SAND in there, though. How does that happen? Anyway I swept up a BUNCH of ‘stuff’ from the floor and spread out the mats again. I neatened up the supplies and then brought a large trash can full of trash to the garage. I took the 2-gallon spray container of EIGHT out to spray ants INSIDE my greenhouse. I hosed them down well, and then hit other areas between the greenhouse and the house on the way back.
I’ve had to get rid of tomato suckers that didn’t make it, but a surprising number are still alive! I have four celery plants that seem to be doing well, and the iceberg head lettuce is looking good. I haven’t started harvesting yet, but will soon.
We supposed to get rain tonight and all day tomorrow with cooler temperatures, so I wanted to get the greenhouse in reasonable shape before we get it. The way the wind is blowing, with dark clouds above, we may get it before this evening.
I hope you’re getting to enjoy the weather, too.

It is a big job to take care of a greenhouse, when you wish it looks nice and inviting, Linda 🙂
The winter is also coming to Spain now. One week ago, we had flooding outside with rivers all over at the roads and yesterday a huge storm. Good to read, that you soon are able to harvest your lettuce.

Wow. I hope you’re okay from the flooding and storms, Irene. I’ve seen that Italy is having horrendous weather, as well. May we all be safe. I’m really happy to have some small success at a fall garden in the greenhouse, since our weather here hasn’t been good for trying to grow much outside this year. I’m looking forward to serving some lettuce straight from the garden!
