Springtime is proceeding at full throttle!  There were garter snakes everywhere underfoot all weekend, including lots of cute little guys like this.  We had to be constantly careful when walking.





























Some of the asparagus I tried to salvage from a super-late planting last year seems to have survived, and has put up one very stout looking spear.













Besides a few bouts of light rain and one severe but short-lived thunderstorm on Sunday, the weekend weather held out for us, and we got a lot accomplished on the greenhouse.  











































































We finished some supplemental framing work, and plywood walls are up on all four sides of the greenhouse.  I caulked all the seams through which air/heat might escape.  Trying to keep this thing as airtight as possible!






































We opted to wrap the entire structure with Tyvek to serve as a moisture barrier behind the vinyl siding.


































































All the materials requied to finish the job are on-site.  Vinyl siding is waiting to be installed, as well as roofing sheets, felt, and shingles.






































A few more weekends with decent weather, and we might just be able to finish off what has become a very long term (but very rewarding) project.
