Welcome to the Mudcat Gardeners thread, Guest Eliza. This is usually a very friendly and supportive thread, in addition to it being a good source of information, experience, and opinion. A person who has a history of obstructive posting behavior has worn the patience of many on Mudcat, and it is that repeated behavior that informs some of the hostility you are observing.

I was in the new yurt this afternoon while a neighbor talked with TL about our plans there. It occurred to me that once we have crossed the current set of hurdles to readying it for moving out of the camper and into our new home, we'll have a few new options for gardening inside and out. One advantage to the slow process of finishing the interior is that we'll have time to contemplate what we want to grow inside, where we want to move the greenhouses, and how to plan for handling our fruit and vegetable harvest this year.

One of our baby apple trees in the young orchard produced several apples for the first time last year, and others should follow suit this year or next. We'll be needing to plan for processing and storing such fruits. We've planned for a real root cellar this time, so as we handle the lumber left from the yurt construction we can put aside that which will be best suited to that project.

We'll be moving most of our farm outbuildings and changing several gardens, so this otherwise frustrating time of slower progress can be useful in thinking through our revised needs and goals. I had picked up a nice handmade plant starting table with lighting fixture a month or so before the fire. I'm thinking it won't be long before I move it out of the shed that kept it from burning up, and into the yurt for selective seed starting. A number of my favorite plants do well germinating in a cold greenhouse, so the yurt will work well as a beginning place for them.
