Well done with that little greenhouse, it really worked! I need one to stop the monkeys from scavenging, you've inspired me to put something up in the garden.
I cannot agree more with you about the joy of freshly harvested veggies growing one's own backyard, the taste far surpasses those in the stores. My late uncle used to grow hiw own herbs and a few veggies on his apartment balcony high up on the 18th floor.
One thing I learnt from my Granny was to replant the roots of leeks, spring onions, celery, etc. It really works! I've planted pineapple tops and the plants are flourishing, just curious to see how long it's going to take to bear fruit. I live in a subtropical area so we never have snow, seldom get hail as well. But you've made me determined now to fulfill my late hubby's dream of building a greenhouse, I have a very skilled helper. The only thing I can grow now, is herbs. The monkeys even pull out spring onions when desperate. Too much of their territory is being taken over by humans with all the housing estates!

One thing I will never have to deal with is monkeys!
I didn't know that about the roots of onions and celery. I'll have to try it this year. I wonder if I could get anywhere with those inside during the winter. I miss spring onions an awful lot during those wintry months.
I think so many more of us can grow at least some food than do. It much healthier, not only the food but also the activity itself.
I hope you do get that greenhouse going.
I spoke to our gardener cum DIY guy, a gem of a worker, and he said he would be able to build one, but it may only happen in autumn as it's our rainy season here and one can almost see everything growing in front of your eyes, so the garden needs constant attention. Those monkeys are real pesky!
I hope you're keeping well @owasco xxx
