A Greenhouse!
It came today! All 5 foot 3 inches, by 2 ft, by 1 ft of growing wonder! My very own apartment sized greenhouse, which I bought for all of $31.48 from Amazon.Com . It paired with my sunny picture window and a plant light, and we should be growing food in no time. Now I must be about gathering pots, seeds, and get to planning on what we will be growing. The first greenhouses built in Roman times, were very similar to cold frames today. It was simply a frame covered with the oiled cloth known as specularia or sheets of selenite. Cucumbers, the main food grown this way, were wheeled into the sun by day, and under the covers by night. Technology continued to change and grow until the 1500's when a Dutchman invented the first practical greenhouse, which continues to advance change to this day! Who knows what will come next? Greenhouses are such a blessing, especially being Gothic Apartment Homesteader. And believe it or no...
