The Mothership
The Mothership Greenhouse!
So close, so close and yet so far.
When I last left you I was a sad little puppy when it came to progress on The Mothership. As if! The Dream Team comes in great waves, they all converge and knock out more than I could ever imagine and then they all go away. It's insane. Cord says we have about 10 days left on it but he can't do all 10 days in a row.
I am a patient person. I am tapping in deep to my resources to stay patient. It's been 3.5 years. Can't have it till I can have it. Can't have 70' of tropical food forest until I can have 70' of tropical food forest. Without ever using any fuel. I know this. I don't wring my hands. I wait. And use my magical powers to make The Dream Team converge. Here. At the same time.
Over the holidays they worked the entire time. I cooked and painted and cooked and painted and cooked. To Cord, Max, Beau and Wulfgar - you guys are the best. Thank you for your continuous work on this project and for making my dreams come true.
I AM IN MY SEED ROOM!!!!
This is the best part. Over the holidays - the Seed Room was finished. I put down flooring and began moving in immediately. 7 car-loads later (SUV) the piles and piles of seed in all of it's glory - was inside the room - breathing in and out.
I go to work in my Seed Room - like people do. Sometimes I carry a basket with my various items like Little Red Riding Hood and sing a song on the path through the trees as I walk along. I sip tea and clean seed or play John Denver and dance around the room while making labels. I am slowly putting my bulk seed into jars on the shelves on the wall. It is the most beautiful room I have ever seen. Getting to actually see my seed is something. I have a long way to go and the work is joy.
My cup runneth over.

Table and shelves are 16' long.
More shelves coming. Bookcases and tables and blinds and work stations are all coming. I'm filling seed orders everyday. Every bag or box you see is drying seed and will be condensed down to a jar. It is very satisfying work right now. A fourth long shelf will be installed at the top of the wall soon. The room is about 10' wide by 24' long and is off the north wall of The Mothership Greenhouse. There is a tile covered block wall on the other side and a concrete pad to keep it cool and steady. It is solid as a rock and so quiet and lovely. More pics to come as I get the room operational. What a thrill.
Inside a random bag. Showy Milkweed.
