Q. I inherited a greenhouse, which will remain unheated, in the garden of a house I have moved into. I began sowing seeds indoors at the beginning of the month, and now have a number of growing seedlings. My question: When can I put the flats of seedlings out into the greenhouse?
A. The timing for each flat of seedlings will depend on the type of seedling and the weather.
What you can do now is to get the greenhouse ready to receive the developing transplants. I usually sweep out and wash down the interior, and give the shelving a thorough scrubbing. Then I close the door and hope for a sunny day or two to administer a bit of a heat treatment to the interior.

Herb Garden in Patio Table
This easy table modification all started because we live in cow country and where you have cows, you have flies. They drive me crazy in the summer so I am always looking for ways to deter them. The other day I was at OSH and the sales lady said that most herbs are a natural fly repellent. That got me thinking and this project was born. Now the jury is still out if this works on the flies but I love the end results anyway.
