Laundry room/Green house

Tyson had gotten some plant trays from his folks and he just got this book on growing Microgreens which he was really excited about so the laundry room is now also doing double duty as a mini-greenhouse.

Farmers have always been famous for getting the job done with the supplies they have on hand. Tyson is already showing a great aptitude for farming by creating a small scale watering system from a recycled tomato can.

My Urban Farmer

We had some sunshine this weekend. It was better on Saturday when we were running all over town getting the supplies for the projects we wanted to do on Sunday. But in-between rain showers Tyson managed to mow our cute little yard...
Build a cold frame in his shop for seed starts. The wood was bought used from the RESTORE in Ballard...
He filled it up with good healthy dirt and surrounded it with the special crushed nut (hazel nuts?) compost his folks gave him. Slugs apparently can't stand it, which means we love it...
He topped off the new cold frame with a recycled vintage window from the RESTORE ($4)
...and here he is just looking good : ) I will try to post what I was working on while he was doing all this tomorrow.
