Gardening First project for the spring/summer.

Excellent build.
Very impressive.

 

That looks awesome.

 

The first residents showed up in the past couple of days.
Virginia creeper. It grew among the fitzers I pulled out
to do the build.
These will not be able to stay....the ones outside will.

 

Taking raised beds to new heights.




Garden is pretty much done...so back to the greenhouse.
Planting beds built and filled.








Got seeds this afternoon.
Broccoli, kohlrabi, yellow squash, lettuce, beets, onions, snap peas.
Hope to have plants up by the first frost. .....say what?

 

….so....the grand adventure begins in earnest.
...never planted a garden in Oct.

 

Looks like you have chosen cool weather crops - probably a good idea. Hope it works out well for you!

 

Bingo!

….yea know....it's going to work out the way it works out.....
...so far, this has just been too much fun.

 

Eating fresh picked veggies all winter will be nice. I think the whole thing will be how much sun you get. We have mild winters but usually it is grey and overcast.

 

The green house is now officially complete. …..and operational.

 

Greenhouse continues to evolve.
Built a door for the fan. Weather stripped the entry door.

It's a pretty tight little box. Last week I forgot to open it up before I went to work.
It was 68F and sunny when I got home and 139F in the greenhouse.
I thought everything was cooked....but they perked back up.

Before I pulled my tomatoes in the garden, I cut a few suckers off
the Pink Ladies. They were such good 'mators. Put them in a jar of
water and 3 weeks later...roots.

Transplanted them on Sunday.

Second generation tomatoes. If they make suckers through the winter,
I'll root those and have 3rd generation 'mators for the garden next summer.
Everything is up. Peas, broccoli, kohlrabi, lettuce, onions, beets




.....and always late to the party....yellow squash showed up today.

It's like having a new toy.

 

Wo

You may have figured out how to beat winter!

 

660 cu/ft of summer. ...so far, so good.

 

what a contrast with what is lying on the ground outside.

 

When would you expect your first harvest of anything? Lettuce first?

 

Lettuce, maybe 2-3 weeks away.

 

Big like for that.

 

....last time I looked it was Dec. 1. It's late June.....early July in my greenhouse.
Lettuce is ready to harvest. My second generation Pink Lady tomatoes are blooming.
Tiny yellow squash are showing. I'm just having too much fun watching this happen.

 

That is awesome and makes me jealous!

 

So remind me, do you have a heat source in there or does it just stay warm enough with the solar gain?
