Updating Greenhouse Project and garden. [View all]
Greenhouse project is going great, learning a great deal on growing in a house. We have grow tents inside, but this is different. Its a joy to open the house up first light and bask in the humid warmth. The seeing our future dinners growing is delightful.
A small dive into what weve been doing. I didnt include the root crops coming in carrots, beets, onions. The underground camera kinda sucks.
Marys white iris. First time blooming.
Overview of the greenhouse.

Outside, we have potatoes, green beans, raspberries.
Snow peas coming along. Some of the Horseradish root should be ready later for harvest. Its in the background. Onions getting bigger.
Roma tomatoes, garlic at the top of the row, seed onions along the fence line.
The Elderberries are coming in great should have an awesome harvest.
Overall look at the Elderberry grove. It keeps getting bigger every year. For scale, Mary is in blue behind the bushes changing the critters water, its for the birds and other critters that wander through.
Strawberry beds are filling in nicely. Trying a new way to hold down the bird netting, pool noodles sliced down one side then fitted over the side of the bed with the netting in place under it.
The traditional mounds for zucchini, butternut squash, acorn squash.
The straw bale garden experiment. Everything is looking great. I purposefully planted densely to see how it could be handled. Next is seeing if they cascade like Im expecting. Theres acorn, butternut, zucchini squashes and some lettuce in one bale.
