    The beans look so yummy! I would definitely top mine with cilantro & all the other toppings! It’s nice to see your lovely family members. My Grandmother had Alzheimer’s also- she was a Pastor’s wife & never forgot the scriptures & wanting everyone one to know Jesus. Thank You for keeping us up to date on what’s happening on your homestead. I pray Blessings over you as you care for your family. 💜✝️

    Nice to get greenhouses. You will definitely use them. I had a plastic snap and grow greenhouse, and the wind lifted it up and i lost half my seedlings, and it was anchored down. So please make sure the tarp top is anchored securely. The beans look delicious. Thank you for sharing I love watching you .

Gotta take the chains off the John Deere, too. It looked like Grandma had a great time at the garden center.

    A few years ago my husband and I got that same one. It was missing poles and bolts. They told us they wouldn't ship us what was missing. So we took the plastic off our porch and wrapped it with the greenhouse material. It's works great. We made it to where the flaps open. It gets cold here in New York so a head start is so nice.

    Your grandmother is so sweet and Aaron is such a gentleman and so good with your grandmother. My grandmother had Alzheimer’s and it steals so much, it’s heartbreaking.
    Aaron is a wonderful cook too, looks delicious. I had chicken fajitas today, so good.
    My area grows rocks too Aaron, frustrating. Good job family, so happy for you.
    Have a blessed evening and weekend!

    Well the next one should be super easy to put up after doing it once! Curious how many hours it actually took to put together? One other question you had said you decided not to put the greenhouses there because they were a muddy mess after the winter thaw well aren’t you concerned that next winter it will also be a muddy mess and then you won’t be able to access the inside of your green houses? Also wouldn’t it be advantageous in the early spring to be able to carry all your seed starting plants into the greenhouse if the door was facing the house? I’m also curious if doors on both ends wouldn’t be a better option for your situation? Can you get them like that or would it be a special order? Sure didn’t look very promising when the first box arrived without its set of setup nuts and bolts. Quality control on that sort of thing should be watched closer because what a headache that would be for most people! Take a day off work to put your greenhouse together and then discover all the main parts are missing! Ugh!! Major inconvenience. 🥰❤️🙏🏻🇨🇦🍁
