investing in a future christmas
I got my mail order seedlings yesterday and planted them this morning. twenty five (six?) little Norway spruce trees. maybe 26 because they were all bunched together and I may have cut a larger one in half. they all were really small. they came in a small box all tied together. $25, including delivery.

this being the first winter of the greenhouse, I figured I would start with something easy. these little trees will do ok even if the greenhouse doesn't stay very warm. I have been working on the heat sink, and I think it will help a lot at the least. I guesstimate I have 300 gallons of water in black containers.

I will transplant each tree into a 5 gallon bucket in the spring, and put them in corners around the roof top. I already have the bucket planters ready. they will grow a couple feet a year, more if I baby them. I should have a decent Christmas tree crop in 3 years. I will sell them out of my garage.

it isn't a HUGE fortune, but it will be a little extra cash around Christmas, which is always good. god is good
