    O ya the best part was when we got to the greenhouse supply they had a recycle bin load with hanging pots! They said sure take what ever you want! I got all those 3 and 5 gallon tree pots plus the hanging pots free!

    That is so sweet. Keep the fans going to prevent dampening off. It can wipe you out overnight. I have never grown strawberries in a greenhouse. They need to be pollinated. If you get bees in there, they will be ok but to be safe, use a feather or small paintbrush and spread their pollen around.

    Good find. You have a lot in there. But, the way you have it set up, you have options to move thing about, in or out. I seldom use my greenhouse after mid June. I tried cherry tomatoes. They do well in there and seldom get diseased.
    Damp cool fog here can wipe our tomatoes out. It is a 50/50 thing that sets in during August just as the tomato crop is at its peek.

    Greenhouse really looking good. Makes me a little green (no envy smiley) but I know I don't have the time for one right now. I hope you keep us posted on its progress.

    It's growing fantastic! I think next year the garden will be expanded to be about 3 times bigger. @savemoney @Woodwidow @raybonz

    Incredible harvest! I still can get over how cool that thing looks. Veggies will definitely taste extra good!

    I am shocked by the bounty! Seriously we planted really late this year and it's caught up to my parents garden just about...

    Good job. It will be easier next year. Enjoy the harvest. You earned it. Do you have an interest in growing giant pumpkins? Lots of competition for those.
