We are on the edge of Hurricane Harvey!

Steve hasn’t slowed down a minute this summer… making great progress on the greenhouse and seedling building! …until Hurricane Harvey hit this week (category 4, Houston is in big trouble), lots of rain! Harvey has not “huffed and puffed” enough to blow anything down, but it sure is wet!

In the meantime, we now have scaffolding!  Picked up scaffolding in Dallas, now we can get up high! The seed building roof is next and when completed will be followed by continued work on the greenhouse!  Thank you Lindsey, Dale, Pete and Hilary for your help!

We visited the local Farmer’s Market in the Seton Hospital front parking lot last Saturday (before Harvey)!  Vendors from all over.  Many vendors alternate attendance at this farmer’s market with several different farmers markets in the Central Texas area.

It’s Summer in Ding Dong… average wind about 7 MPH

Rachel had a great idea! We used some of our shade cloth to cover the building. Heat exhaustion is no fun. I did that before when I was invincible young man just out of college. When I get back in the field to add the parallel support lines and deep water culture troughs I can use it there as well!

Shade cloth

Have some leveling adjustments to make and then I start on the walls.
