DIY Window Greenhouse

This morning I'm making a greenhouse from an old window... this is an experiment so here goes!

I'm using reclaimed 4x4 posts found in my yard.

I measured and cut them into a square the size of the window.

A Master Carpenter I'm not but since this is going into my own garden, perfect is not my goal.



I'm holding the corners together with rusty L brackets... and it worked great.

I leveled the soil and moved the frame into the garden.

I attached the window to the frame with old rusty hinges.

Using a stick I can prop the window open for planting.

I just need to fill the box with soil and it will be ready for planting!

I can't wait for this messy little garden to grow!

The plants and flowers will surround this beautiful little greenhouse window!

Looks like I have a lot of work to do on that path too!
