The greenhouse story starts at ground level. In the early Cross SL archive, tractor work prepares a pad for a place to grow.
Published on October 3, 2026, “Working the Greenhouse Pad” looks back at one short tractor pass from the groundwork, before the frame went up. The publication date is not the filming date.
The work behind the growing.
A nursery needs more than a collection of plants. It also needs somewhere for the work to happen. Preparing a pad belongs to that practical side of the story—the space and effort behind what eventually appears on a growing bench.
We are keeping this account tied to that earlier pad work. It is not the later October plan for a new tunnel near the luffas, and it is not a claim that the current greenhouse setup is complete.
