Greenhouse!!

So, I volunteered in the greenhouse today!  I spent just over an hour trimming dead leaves off the plants.  For now, we are just letting things grow so their will be lots of greenery when the tourists show up in about a month for all the 100 year anniversary celebrations.  After mind January, we will tear it all down and replant so the winterovers will have freshies (fresh veggies) during the winter when planes can no longer bring them food.  It's fairly warm, about 70% humidity, and the light is super bright inside the greenhouse.  I tried to take a few photos, and they aren't the best... but I figured y'all would want to see what it looked like!!  Excited to learn something about gardening at the Pole this season!!!
