We've been working on this project for a few months now and it looks like we'll soon come to an end. A heap of complex connections, a bit of concrete and paint later, we are nearing completion.

An diesem Projekt bauen wir nun bereits einige Monate und es sieht dannach aus das wir bald zu einem Ende kommen. Ein haufen komplexter Verbindungen bisschen Beton und Lack später sind wir kurz der Fertigstellung
This weekend I worked out a power thing and got the little pump working that I originally bought for the riparium. We
got a porcelain fish bowl at an estate sale and I thought it would be great for a constant source of moisture for the greenhouse.
There are a couple of large lava rocks inside, so that I can start to plant some aquatic stuff and maybe add some snails. It is big enough for some small fish, but after the raccoon episode I am not quick on getting new outdoor fish.
Day 22 cont 
“The #Coalition (#LNP, #Liberal, #Nationals) is refusing to say if it will introduce any #policies to cut #Australia’s #greenhouse #gas #emissions in the next decade as it pledges to #unwind most #ClimateMeasures introduced under #Labor.
#PeterDutton’s position on the #ClimateCrisis came under scrutiny last week after he gave contradictory answers on whether he accepted mainstream climate science. Asked during a leaders’ debate on the #ABCAustralia whether #ExtremeWeather events were worsening, the opposition leader said: “I don’t know because I’m not a #scientist”.”
Say IT AS IT IS.
The #LNP under the leadership of the #PeterDutton has no policies. Policy changes are random.

Been a while since I posted a greenhouse status update. The roof is almomost completely done, only missing one pane - I broke one putting it up, and itis taken a while to get a replacement.
Also almost halfway done with the wall glass - just two more pones for the bottom concourse. It's really starting to feel like a proher structure!
Our first tiny #greenhouse
The original plan was to build a proper polly tunnel down the line, but impatience and a good offer landed us here. I can rationalise it by pointing out the opportunity to start small and learn more before investing in something bigger 
We set it up on some old paving stones that came with the property. The spot is sunny most of the day and somewhat protected from the wind. It is also notably not in the middle of a field of human sized nettles. A good balance, all in all.
I'm excited to get in here and try my hand at some less hardy crops

Third time we're setting up this greenhouse, hopefully in its final location now

The odds of a greenhouse roof landing on you are pretty slim but they're not 0%
Still got a lot of seeds to sow but things are well under way. Very happy with all my little babies. #allotment #gardening #greenhouse #seedlings
Buying carbon credits to fight climate change? Here’s what to know
#CarbonCredits sold on the voluntary market are under scrutiny for not offsetting #Greenhouse#Gas emissions as claimed.
One investigation concluded that over 90 percent of carbon credits issued for #rainforest protection by the largest carbon credit certification body “had no benefit to the climate.” Two reports published in 2023 found that credits for forest-based projects in North America, South America, Africa and Asia may in fact #increase net #emissions.

Trump’s EPA Cancels $20 Billion in Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund Grants
United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Lee Zeldin has cut $20 billion in grants awarded by the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund (GGRF) through a “green bank.”

This afternoon I have sown 2 types of Tomato (Ailsa Craig and Limonita F1), Chilli Pepper (Quick Fire F1), and Spring Onions (Totem).
I've put the tomatoes and chillies in the heated propagator. The onions can take their chance in the #greenhouse but I've put an upturned clear plastic tray over them to trap a little more warmth during the day.
I put a stool in the greenhouse and I could quite happily sit in there doing nowt all afternoon!
Lufa Farms has the right idea - building rooftop greenhouses for fresh veggies above hyperstores/supercenters. They currently serve #Quebec and #Ottawa

(rooftop solar panels: also a good idea)
Cut and stood up some of thee siding so see what it will look like. I'm not 100% happy with how tall the 18" is; considering if I want to get some 18x48" pieces of glass to use along the front there instead.
On the other hand, the siding does seem a lot more reasonable if I add raised beds in the greenhouse, which I've been leaning towards doing; if I raise beds up 18" over ground level, then the siding is only a few inches taller than the soil (once you include the wall), which makes it just about perfect, and would leave the ground between beds shaded more to stay cool in the summer.
Hm. Probably will just use the siding and same the few hundred dollars + additional effort of ordering and using glass. Thoughts welcome; have you gardened in a greenhouse / raised bed?
