winter crops again

I did some research and I think I am gonna buy 25 Norway spruces and put them around the whole roof. they grow 1-2' a year, and they should be big enough to be Christmas trees in a few years. I can get them for $25. I am filling up 25 five gallon buckets with soil today.

I did some veggie research too and found a few things:

Perpetual spinach, chard, parsley, rocket, lettuce, radishes, Land cress, lamb's lettuce, Claytonia, Chinese cabbage, Chinese greens, Carrots, Celery, broccoli, artichokes, Parsley, Potatoes.

most of these will grow outside during a mild winter, and should do ok in the greenhouse even if I can't keep it that warm.

I am betting on NOT going to jail. they continued my case again today.

I been researching a lot, and I think I am going to just take the easy way out. I am not really thrilled with any of the veggies I can grow in the winter, and it probably is not a good idea to put out seedling spruce before the winter.

what I think I am going to do, is plant 25 seedling spruces IN the greenhouse for the winter. THEN I will transplant them to individual buckets. this way I don't need any more soil either, and they will be protected for the winter to take root

then I have something going on in the winter without having to really worry too much. these things are supposeta grow like weeds without a lot of attention.

I ordered 25 Norway spruces online from a Michigan nursery yesterday.

I have also been beefing up my heat sink. I have at least 300 gallons of water in flat black now.
