My hoophouse

As I near the day when my other blogs-Amy's Healing Garden and Amy's Collected Works- will go public, I have felt ready to share the things from the season that are ending.  It is time to celebrate the harvest in my life.  A beautiful and rich harvest for which I am very grateful.

Conversely, I've felt too exposed in expressing the new season just beginning.  I need a hoophouse.  Not a permanent greenhouse or climate controlled hothouse- just a portable hoophouse which "keeps excessive rain off the plants, blocks the wind, raises daytime temperatures 5-10 degrees (and often much more), and keeps frosts and heavy dew off the leaves" until they mature and the hoophouse can be moved to a new patch.  A rough draft place. A put-ideas-out-on-the-table-to-look-at-and-talk-about place.  A place where my sprouting issues and stories can dwell until they're hardy.

This is that place.
Welcome to my hoophouse.
