More home improvements



We have added window planters to each of the windows and are experimenting with which plants grow best in this environment. So far we’ve only had to move 2 to new locations. Also finished the 2 large planters in front of the house. One is filled with tomatoes (now flowering), squash and a few assorted other plants. The second will have jalapeno peppers (almost impossible to find here) and additional flowers. The other exciting “improvement” is the addition of “window pane-frames” to each of the windows. NO there is NO GLASS. You really want all the fresh, cool air you can get. And, YES, we have added some very lightweight curtains to act as bug netting when we sleep. It looks great and seems to have reduced the bat and bug population at night without eliminating the fresh air.
