Is Your Greenhouse In Our Customer Gallery?

Before Poly After Poly this house is in New Mexico, lots of sun outside of the clean look greenhouse from previous post The greenhouse feeds the garden and the garden feeds the owner, beautiful surroundings One of the sweetest customers I have ever had, he was 91 in this pic. This is his second 12×20 greenhouse. He’s growing veggies for his neighbors, for free. Don’t worry the poly covers all of your mistakes Getting ready for ground growing, note only 1 run of purlin in the center of the ceiling, it really takes 3 runs of purlin to shed the snow.

What’s inside of your Greenhouse? This is an old pic of one of my houses(yes it’s a pit, sorry) If you send me some pics of what’s growing in yours, now or in the past. I’d like to do a gallery of just customer pics.Those of you that have been here will recognize Mandy the greenhouse super dog.

12×100 with 4′ deep benches

One of my houses with pink waves floating above. I may have this pic somewhere else on this blog but I really like it.This is visible from the highway that goes past our place, I have had folks at the market mention that they see these pots every morning on the way to work and sometimes it makes their day. Next year I’m doing a 40′ long planter on our new lot next door.It will be 8′ off of the ground.

Pictures of The Good The Bad and The Very Ugly

Really ugly due to fertilizer burn, not my best effort

More ugly, this fuchsia was almost loved to death, now on the mend

That same fuchsia. The flowers weren't affected

Flowers from the fuchsia above

a little crooked but coming back, note the dead leaves in the foliage

Thank God I didn't fertilize the Begonias. This is one of the runt baskets that I was able to keep for our porch

A Few New Pictures

We’ve been really busy planting. Below are some of the pictures. I will try to arrange the fuchsias and the begonias in before and  after pics.

Fuchsia starts Feb. 9th

Fuchsia starts March 5th, just under 4 weeks from planting

Growing on the floor (up on overturned empty flats) Dinner for the slugs

Wave petunias 6 paks (to be shifted up later) on the right

Annual cutting plants. All patented, with tags 15 cents each for tag and royalty, ouch

That’s it for today. Thanks for coming to my blog.

Excuses Excuses

I have lots of them, but to be honest I’ve been very busy with the greenhouse manufacturing part of the business and at the same time filling up the greenhouses with plants. I promise to post lots of full greenhouse pics in the next 2 days. Thanks to the loyal readers. I honestly didn’t think anyone was reading anyway. Sorry to those of you who were.
