The gardening version of painting ones' self into a corner? Beautiful shade of green.

Every year in the neighborhood, someone puts up one of those hoop houses, and every year, we get a wind/dust storm with 65 mph gusts and every year, those hoop houses end up in Kansas.

Beautiful! Oh, now I want stir fry and salad and ...

The sun was setting when I snapped that picture, David. The flash went off so it kinda washed the color out of the picture . . . so, I kinda clicked the "auto correct" button . . .

Yes, the wind could really be a problem. But, not so much in my yard - although that twine running from hoop to hoop was taut before the 40+mph gusts on Saturday! I need to get in there and even up those hoops, too.

What saves the little thing is that I am very nearly standing in my carport with the camera. Inches from the left side is the greenhouse and no more than 6' to the right is a board fence.

I really should be more imaginative for the bok choy. On the stir-fry menu, variables are the meats, smoked this 'n' that, chicken, sometimes shrimp.

Additional veggies often don't go beyond green onions and cilantro. Carrots sliced thinly. Mushrooms are a common choice - usually the common button mushroom.

Sauces (and there are quite a few) and a splash of one vinegar or another: They add a little fun!

I have my hoop house frame set down on rebar that is 3 feet into the ground. Hasn't gone anywhere yet but sure looks like it will occasionally.
