Greenhouse conversion

Some friends graciously spent 9 hours with me replacing a section of our metal shed roof with clear pvc roofing that I hope will let in enough light to make cacao and our other winter-sensitive plants happy.  There's still a lot of work to do in here for insulation, termite control (it's an old pole-barn-type shed with a gravel floor), and adding electricity for lighting, fans, and some of the heating.  I'm excited to try my first winter with a greenhouse!

Grape Trellis

Yesterday, we started building a 2-line grape trellis from t posts.  The top line is ready, but we need more parts to pull the slack in the bottom line.  The line is coated steel cable.  When complete, we'll try to train our grapes onto the lines.  We decided against growing them on the fence because grapes need to have old branches removed each year, which would be a pain to pull out of fencing.
