Beginning to clear the field for greenhouses and our garden


Panoramic before of the garden field.  Two greenhouses will go in this field along with our vegetables for next summer.  We'll also be putting in fruit trees, blueberry bushes, and blackberry bushes.  What you can't see in all of these pictures is black weed block that was put down by previous owners.  Clearly, it did not block the weeds.  It is now a field of weeds growing through the "weed block."


Once reclaimed, this will be the large greenhouse.  It is 20 feet by 72 feet.


Extra posts to hold the greenhouse hoops.
Good thing I didn't run these over with the bush hog.


The greenhouse posts that will receive the PVC pipes to make the hoop houses.



The 60 amp service for the large greenhouse.  Scary thing is that these wires were LIVE.  Buried amongst the brush, these too would have been fun to hit with the bush hog.  The water line is run to the well already.  So once the new jet pump is in place, this greenhouse will already have water run to over to it.  What a huge savings of time and money these two things are.  


This is the smaller greenhouse.  16 feet by 50 feet.  You can see the 60 amp panel in the background along with the water supply.  This will be the first greenhouse to go up when Liliane's grant money comes in.
