Yesterday we started our greenhouse in Ripton (it's smaller & thus more efficient in the beginning). The onions that i started inside last week sprouted today! The photo to the left shows the auto vents just opening, while the wood stove heats the greenhouse. Yes, those are our skis drying after a "spring" ski this morning.

Below the greenhouse is a photo of two satisfied cookie customers (in our recycled plastic lawn furniture - - made in the usa)!
